Earthlock: Festival of Magic is an upcoming role-playing video game scheduled for release in the Spring of 2016[1] for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux, with PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U versions scheduled for release soon after.[2]
Gameplay
The game will play as a non-linear, turn based role-playing video game.[3]
Story
The game's story takes place in the world of Umbra, where a cataclysmic event occurs that stops the planet from spinning.[4]
Development
Development for the game started as early as 2011,[5] with a pre-alpha build trailer being released in May 2013.[6] The game was originally just known by its subtitle, Festival of Magic.[7] In November 2013, to help funding, the game was put on to crowd sourcing platform Kickstarter.[8] However, Snowcastle later pulled from the platform, due to it getting lost in the crowd during the holiday season.[5] It was reactivated in March 2014.[5] The game's plot will be written by comic book writer Magnus Aspli.[9]
An early concept demo was released in March 2014 for the Windows, OS X and Linux platforms.[10]
