UFO survival game Orphan hits Kickstarter goal, PS4 version still possible

March 1st - via: gamesradar.com
After a shaky first few months, stealth-minded platformer Orphan has successfully reached its Kickstarter goal - thanks in no small part to a last minute push from fellow devs and media outlets alike. Much like Harmonix’s Amplitude revival project last year, the moody side-scroller was in danger of missing its $32,000 goal with only a few days to go, but a wave of last minute backers has helped push it over the monetary finish line with hours to spare. Over 30 hours remain on said crowdfunding clock, so there’s also a chance it could hit its $36,000 stretch goal, which would see the game arrive on PS4 as well as PC, Mac and Linux. (Read More)
