Mega Man X, Metroid and Bloodborne are an odd set of inspirations, but from the demo I just played of Lore Finder, a Lovecraft-inspired exploration platformer, they blend surprisingly well. Developed by Kitsune Games and currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, Lore Finder is halfway funded after just one day, and backed up with a ‘vertical slice’ early demo which you can play here. While condensed (compared to what’s planned for the full game) it’s a fun bit of running and gunning with a bit of LGBTQ representation in its cast too. An ominous trailer lurks below.
