In 2083 Neo Hong Kong, a young woman named Mei Lin Mak is dragged into a maelstrom of supernatural horror. As she peers deeper into the century old mystery, Mei will be forced to question her perception of reality and her trust of her cybernetic eyes. Under the neon lights of a cyperpunk dystopia, the ruins of the 'Chong Sing Apartments' hides a bloody mystery illuminated by both the traditions of Chinese folklore and the innovations of the industrial future. If there is any hope of escaping this nightmare, Mei-Lin must explore this complex, piecing together the stories of 14 lost souls, and discover the truth of her own family curse.

Hey everybody!
Please note, most of the below concerns those who missed pledging. If you already pledged, we have more backerkit information for EXISTING BACKERS under this section.
------------
Good news after a relatively quiet last week. Mainly, we finally have the backer kit store launched and ready! If you missed out on any individual add-ons or (some) of the tier rewards we have them up for you at this link;
https://project-sense-a-cyberpunk-ghost-story.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
With this pre-order store, we wanted to maintain a certain level of exclusivity for existing backers while also offering ways to get the game and merchandise in the hands of late-comers, so with that in mind we have a few points of interest:
- The Collector's Edition package includes the physical copy of the game, the physical soundtrack, and the physical hardcover art book, all wrapped in a unique casing with special art. This will be priced at $200 in order to account for the costs of production, costs of the items themselves, and also to remain fair to the higher tier backers who locked theirs in during the campaign, since it will not contain the extras that come with the higher tier that backers pledged toward.
- You may notice that the physical versions for Switch, Vita, and PS4, cannot be selected at the moment. These will be added in the future once we can confirm physicals for PS4/Switch and once we can coordinate minimum order production batches. For existing backers, this does not effect you, you will still receive the vita physicals you pledged for.
------------
And now for information concerning existing backers;
- Backer surveys are ready, but will not go out for a few more months, while we confirm get some production kinks and specifics worked out. If you're interested in changing your pledge level, you'll be able to do so through the survey, so existing pledgers do not need to use the pre-order store unless they want extras.
-On a transparency note, we want to note that the money made from the backer kit sales will NOT go towards the animated cutscenes stretch goal; instead it will go towards paying our current contractors a bit more, improving over-all quality of the game where ever we can allocate funds, and used for potential trips to conventions in 2019, to market and show off the game as well as meeting fans. To be clear, every penny will be used for development-related expenses though, no superfluous things unrelated to making Sense the best game it can be.
------------
With all that out of the way I also wanted to update you all on the current writing progress.
Things are moving a bit slow, but still rather smoothly. I am taking the time to find inspiration and compare the narrative to other games, movies, and books in order to guarantee a level of originality and freshness for genre fans. I don't want Sense to give you much familiarity while playing, so while very little of the script has been hammered out, the notes, sketches, and iterations have already filled TWO full sketchbooks.
Once again thank you all as always for following along and being patient in these early days. Once Kay and I are all settled in to our temporary home, I will have a lot more to show and tell you all about! For now, make sure to tell all your friends about the backer kit and share it around! Thank you again for your continued support.
