Everything was going fine until the game suffered multiple delays, and never got released due to publisher Kaneko closing down shop. The game is often regarded as one of the biggest pieces of lost media due to the fact that the only copy in existence was owned by a collector who refused to dump the game online.socks_the_cat_continue_screenAll seemed lost, until another collector ended up buying the prototype from him, and this time, the current owner was on a quest to make this game see the light of day.

Now the devs ask for your help. With enough support (and $30,000), not only will they be able to release the game digitally, but also provide collectors with physical boxed version!
