New! The Kidnapped Princess

There is a new upcoming tactical RPG, reminiscent of the older rpg sprite style games, titled A Princess to Save Me.
Taking the typical cliche of a Mario rescuing his Peach, this rpg is about a princess whose savior fails, so she has to save herself. The point of the game is to escape you captors and then learn how to survive for yourself in the world before you can get home.
The plot is branching, and the turns seem to be turn based on a large grid (like Fire Emblem). The first games that came to mind was Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, but the style looks sort of like Legend of Zelda.

To make another point, the authors quote that the same is about vulnerability, love, and self. It's a story about how people become helpless and if our upbringing is the reason why we sometimes refuse to solve problems ourselves.

The creators brought up another interesting point. While playing a typical hero-saves-damsel game, she noticed her friend exclaim out loud when she died was that the princess would be dead too then. If this were real life, and the hero does die, then what DOES happen to the princess? She can't just wait around and wither and die can she? This game explains what would happen if the Mario to the Peach fell in a pitfall and lost all his lives...

This project is still being backed, so there's that!
