The Song of Seven: Chapter 1 funded on Kickstarter

The Song of Seven has managed to reach its funding goal over on Kickstarter. There was barely any time remaining in the project’s campaign, but donations surpassed the $8,000 mark a short while ago.

All Kickstarter funds will be used in the creation of The Song of Seven’s first chapter. Enlightened Games is planning several chapters, each of which “is meant to be the video game version of a short story, a quick, enjoyable digital romp that can be played in a dedicated day or a lazy weekend.” Combined together, “the chapters assemble a narrative that roams across a world of distinct cultures and intriguing lore with a story that can be enjoyed and appreciated by all ages.”

You can find a trailer for The Song of Seven below. We’ve also included a brief overview. Plenty of additional details are on the Kickstarter page here.

The Song of Seven spans an entire world and tells a story of forgotten celestial siblings, isolated villages, seafaring pirates, ghosts, monsters, leaders, artists, mystics, lovers, dancers, inventors, and the power of connections. Its game play hearkens back to old school point and click, inventory-based adventure/puzzle games but uses third person analog controls for a more updated, immersive feeling.

The Song of Seven: Chapter 1 is targeted for February 2016 on Wii U.
