Paradigm is an upcoming point-and-click adventure video game for Microsoft Windows.[2] The game is being developed and designed in by Jacob Janerka.[3]
Plot
The game follows Paradigm, a genetically grown person that was horribly mutated in the process, who was dumped in a post soviet town to grow up on his own.[3]
Development
The game was crowdfunded through Kickstarter which ended on October 7th, 2014, having raised $36,557 AUD by 1,387 backers, 250% over its initial funding goal[4] of $14,000 AUD.[5] To help crowd-fund the project, the game's designer Jacob Janerka quit his job.[6]
Themes
The game's aesthetic features an Eastern European 1970's and 1980's post-apocalyptic future look.[7]
Marketing and release
Together with the Kickstarter, an alpha demo of the game was available to download and play. The game was originally slated for release in mid-2015.[8]
On August 4th, 2016, the game was chosen as one of six winners to be showcased at the PAX Aus Indie Showcase 2016.[9][10]
