[Back this Campaign]
The early bird pledge slots are all gone so the first tier that might interest you comes in at £44/$66. This slot unlocks a copy of Periorbis, with any extras and stretch goals unlocked and with shipping to the US and Europe included. If you’re fast then the limited £100 pledge level which includes your likeness in the game is still in there.
The game looks to be quite a long one. A base 1 hour plus 15 minutes per player means it’ll be about 2 hours for four players. That’s about right for an economic-sim, they’re not known for being short and snappy.
The campaign was looking for £15,000. At the time of writing, with nearly two weeks left, it’s raised £18,700+ from an impressive 420 backers.
