Back in 2009, Steve Jenkins started a Kickstarter campaign for High Strangeness, a 12-bit action adventure title about crystal skulls, shadow people, flash light wielding teenagers, string theory, chaos theory, multiverses, and a talking cat. With final funds reaching just over $1500, High Strangeness became the first successfully funded videogame project on Kickstarter. And now after nearly six years, the folks at Barnyard Intelligence Games have teamed with Midnight City to get their game out for fans.
High Strangeness is the first of its kind – drawing inspiration from some of the timeless RPG and adventure classics that hailed from both generations, players take on the role of Boyd, who along with his trusty (yet sarcastic) feline friend, traverses between two worlds in order to solve a multi-layered mystery. The game’s core ability is to switch between 8 and 16-bit worlds to solve puzzles and explore the universe.
High Strangeness is now available on the WiiU virtual console.
