Bizenghast is a wonderful American manga by the amazing M. Alice LeGrow. Delightfully disturbing and gothic, it centers upon a young woman named Dinah who has the power to see ghosts. She puts this power to work, trying to put lost souls to rest at the risk of becoming eternally trapped between life and death herself.
Now, M. Alice LeGrow is trying to develop Bizenghast into a video game. The work thus far looks promising even if you aren't a fan of the original comics. And if you are a fan of the original comics, it looks even more amazing to see the world of Bizenghast animated.
A Kickstarter for the game has been launched and will continue for the next month. $10 will snag you a copy of the game for portable devices and a number of special wallpapers. $15 will get you the same for PC, Mac or UNIX desktops. $25 will get you all that and your name in the credits!
Of course there's a host of other more expensive options with ever more impressive rewards for those who wish a producer credit or dinner with the creative team... but $15 for a copy of a brand new game is a bargain these days and well worth it when you know you're supporting an independent project. At least, I think it is.
