Point-and-click title "Heir of the Dog" hits Kickstarter goal, locked in for Switch

Developers Tall Story Games Ltd were hoping to fund Heir of the Dog on Kickstarter, and they were looking for just under $20k to make that happen. The Kickstarter just launched today, and that goal was hit in less than 2 hours! That makes Heir of the Dog a lock for Switch release sometime down the road.

Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Heir of the Dog invites you on a hilarious romp through the dark streets and back alleys of Victorian London, where you’ll discover talking lice, cannibalism, a secret society and rather a lot of dogs.

Replete with intricate, witty, and sardonic storytelling, Heir of the Dog, tells the story of bachelor and upper class twit, Cummerbund Bandersnatch. When visiting his uncle’s laboratory, Bandersnatch discovers an experimental new formula guaranteeing a ‘good time’ for whoever drinks it. Seduced by the promises listed in his uncle’s journal, he drinks the strange elixir and undergoes a monstrous transformation. Life will never be the same again.

There’s obviously still plenty of time to help Heir of the Dog hit some Kickstarter stretch goals. If you’d like to lock in a copy or help the game reach further heights, you can check out the campaign here.
