Mystery of Ancient Darkness — help us finish the expedition

The Misfits Software is a human-plus-AI game studio. Our flagship is Mystery of Ancient Darkness: a painted 2.5D occult action-adventure set in 1935.
This is not a mood board. MoAD already has a working alpha, a custom runtime, a visual level editor, a cinematic prologue, and a complete illustrated novella.
Your support funds the next playable slice: engineering, animation, sound, production art, narrative implementation, tools, and the time needed to finish the damn game properly.
What exists now:
• working alpha;
• custom runtime;
• visual level editor;
• cinematic prologue;
• illustrated novella;
• public proof wall.
Supporter rewards:
• Every paid supporter gets The Pixel Campfire after the first successful payment.
• Senior supporters also receive RURK.
• Supporters who stay with us for at least six paid months during development receive Mystery of Ancient Darkness for free at release, no matter the final store price.
This is not a preorder and not a purchase of creative control. It is a founder reward: if you keep the expedition alive, you should be there when the tomb opens.
