I have to say, that's definitely a unique title.
He won. Period.

Well, if nothing else they nailed the look of Baldur's Gate. It just needs a "you must gather your party before venturing forth" notification.

Looks interesting, but wow…that’s a really terrible name.

Incongruent word salad, but at least it's memorable.
I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

I don't know, makes some sense if crude oil is discovered in Ravenloft.

Re: Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness
I cant tell, as I have never backed anything on KS.
Is it still possible to back this game or is it closed?

No, I think the only thing you can do is add it to your STEAM wishlist and purchase it the day it's released.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Re: Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness
You'd think so, but I, for one, had completely forgotten about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness
I'd forgotten about it completely. I had to double-check whether I'd added it to my Steam wish list for tracking.

Re: Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness
This guy gives a good overview of the game. Interesting is 13 classes, also multiclassing available in character creation. No stat re-roll . Also a "greed" slider based on your actions, kind of like KOTOR. Plus he gives a 15% discount on GOG.

Re: Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness
I figure this has been out long enough that most bugs have been squashed, so I going to drill down on it. You get to custom create up to 5 characters, so I went with the standard fighter/thief/mage/cleric and a summoner. You start with only your main, but pick up the others fairly early when you get out into the world. Level progression is pretty quick. I am just getting into the main story. The greed mechanic is interesting, I am trying to play nice. Not gushing so far but it is holding my interest.
