Who are we and what do we do?

By we I mostly mean me, Petter Ljungqvist, although I am getting some help.

I've decided to make a game that I would have liked to play myself, had it only existed. I've set out to combine old-school graphics with an - hopefully - engaging plot, and some clever puzzles.

As I said, this is mostly a solitary endeavour, but not entirely. Music is being made by a certain Nellie Neely, and my life partner Helena is supporting me spiritually, and she's also the model in the recordings I make for the rotoscope animations. The rest is made by yours truly, with plenty of help from the ever so helpful AGS community.

What We Need & What You Get

Basically what we need money for is proper voice acting. Nothing can ruin a game like a bunch of amateurs who believe they can do voices, so I'm going to consult someone who's at least semi-professional in the field, and for this I need a starting sum.

If you like old-fashioned Point-N-Click adventure games - and frankly, who doesn't - then help us realize this project, so that it can see the light of day before the end of 2013.

First tell me some more about this "game" of yours

Fair enough. The Samaritan Paradox is set in Sweden in the 80's. Ord Salamon has agreed to help Sara Bergwall find the book her father, Jonatan Bergwall, wrote before he died. During the course of this treasure hunt, he learns that Jonatan was investigating the weapons industry, and more specifically some covert affairs with foreign dictatorships.

But more questions arise. What is the book about, and why does Sara want Ord to find it for her? Did her Alzheimer's-stricken mother know the secret before she grew too demented to share it? And how did Jonatan actually die?

The progress

As you can see in the video trailer, we're well into the progress. Rest assured that this game will be released at some point, regardless of your support. Fundings will only make it even better!

This means that claiming a perk should be regarded first and foremost as a pre-order; you'll be guaranteed to obtain the game before normal buyers.
