Wildermyth focuses on the ever-evolving story behind an RPG quest. Rather than end when the bad guy is killed, the devs wanted to focus more on the lives of the heroes. It works like any good Dungeons & Dragons game – players create characters only to see them fall in love, age into hardened adventurers, and make heroic sacrifices. Music is an important part of getting players invested, however, and that's where a new Kickstarter campaign comes in. (Read More)
