StoneLab Games has opened a Kickstarter campaign for EthrA, a 3D dot art open-world RPG. Players control two protagonists at once: Bob, a rural boy, and Veil, a rare-species child with magical talent. Bob handles melee while Veil casts spells and buffs, and she can ride on Bob's back for protection. The game targets PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2, with a goal of 40,000 euros.
The campaign's 40,000 euro goal converts to roughly 7.13 million yen. Backer rewards include figures and packaged editions with bonuses. The story follows Bob and Veil across a continent of ruins, towns, and rumors as they uncover a lie hidden for a thousand years. Between battles, the game offers fishing, mining, cooking, farming, and home maintenance. Combat is the centerpiece: Bob fights up close while Veil casts and buffs, and players can have her ride on Bob's back to keep her out of danger, deciding when to protect her and when to split up.
