Why Kickstarter?
Quoting the Backwoods Entertainment team: “We’ve been able to finance the development of We Stay Behind so far through public funding and the success of our first game, Unforeseen Incidents. Our publisher helps us with QA, localization and voice recordings. We’re grateful for their support and for the opportunity to bring this game to life. We still have some things in mind that will make a better game overall and that involves you, as a community. The additional funding coming from this Kickstarter campaign will help us finish the game, and the stretch goals enable us to add fantastic new features we have in mind and that we would love to see in our game.”
