With 18 days left in the Monochroma Kickstarter campaign, we are proud to announce a special contest aimed squarely at the game’s many fans: a video contest inspired by the deeply cinematic Monochroma universe – an alternate 1950s dystopia where technology enslaves thousands in a capitalist nightmare.
We are aiming to give players a similar satisfaction of a good book or a beatiful movie. Help us achieve our goal on Kickstarter if you want more games like this!
To date, Monochroma has secured $32,326 in pledges from 804 backers. The project needs to hit its funding goal of $80,000 by August 24 or development could be delayed indefinitely. However, if the funding goal is met, Monochroma will be released in December 2013 on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms — followed by Ouya, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Xbox One in 2014.
To participate, fans must come up with a video of any length about Monochroma. It can be a Let’s Play, a new teaser, a music video, or even an experimental short set in the Monochroma universe. Once the video is complete, entrants should post it to YouTube with a link to the Kickstarter campaign (Kickstarter.com) and send an email to info@nowherestudios.comwith the YouTube URL and contact information. Participants are free to use the game’s Main Theme by psychedelic folk band Gevende.
