No, there isn’t a missing space in the headline. The new mythic cyberpunk RPG up on Kickstarter is called Tokyo:Otherscape, or just :Otherscape. It’s from Son of Oak Game Studio and you can go check it out now.
From the campaign:
:Otherscape is a new cyberpunk RPG that combines supernatural powers inspired by mythology and legend. It is designed by Amit Moshe and Son of Oak Game Studio, the award-winning team that created City of Mist, with art by manga artist Isago Fukuda and other gifted artists.
Inspired by Japanese cyberpunk masterpieces like Ghost In The Shell and Akira, :Otherscape will take your group on a rollercoaster ride of gunfights, vehicle chases, cyberspace and urban-scape exploration, clashes of mythology and technology, faction wars, and philosophical questions about the nature of being human — and how to transcend it.
This campaign will fund the creation of the game’s corebook, Metro:Otherscape, and the first urban setting book, Tokyo:Otherscape, focusing on the Megacities of Japan and Japanese spirits and specters known as Yokai, Kami, Oni, and more.
The Tokyo:Otherscape Box Set will contain both books as well as five pregen character folios. If we exceed our funding goal, we will continue to unlock more content as well as add dice, an MC screen, and cards to the box set.
The campaign’s more than 4x funded with 27 days left to go.
