October 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Everyone wants to know a lot more about the play mechanics, which is understandable; I'm the "art side" of Mortasheen, but then there's the folks handling 100% of the "gameplay side," tailored to try and best reflect how it would feel to live in the... (Read More)
