Sci-fi talkie mystery hopes for sequel

Consortiumis back with a Kickstarter campaign forConsortium: The Tower, a follow up to the 2014 original. In my review I said,

“It’s a little rough — with the most recent patch, I didn’t experience any bugs, though some people are still having trouble — but it’s endearing. The sci-fi meta-narrative, as well as the conspiracy-laced in-world narrative, are both interesting and this was the first time in a while a game has made me do some real detective work.”

This is where the “Deus Excombined withDie Hard” claim gets itsDeus Exreference point (it is space mystery and conspiracy with dialogue options). TheDie Hardin this Resse’s is that there is a tower.

The crew is asking for just over $300,000 for the project, which will release on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. It’s at about $24,000 at time of writing.
