SnowCastle’s Kickstarter for “Earthlock: Festival of Magic” is now live. You can find it here.

Earthlock: Festival of Magic is described as “an original turn-based role-playing game set in a world of machines and magic, a world that stopped spinning thousands of years ago.” Players will take on the role of Amon as they attempt to stop a war brewing on Umbra. To do so, they’ll need to unlock the mysteries of the planet “and prevent an ancient, magical cult seizing the power.”

Festival of Magic is Volume 1 of the Earthlock series. If the $150,000 funding goal is reached, the game will come to Wii U in Q2 2015.
