Devolver Digital backs another indie on Kickstarter: Torla, a surreal RPG

Torla is a charming role-playing adventure for PC that’s raising funds on the crowdsourcing site Kickstarter. Its art style is reminiscent of old Flash games with expressive stick figures and vibrant colors, and it drew the attention of acclaimed indie publisher Devolver Digital, which backed the project early on. The campaign has about two weeks left and ends August 7.

Torla combines point-and-click gameplay with survival in an open world. Along with solving puzzles and exploring over 150 biomes, players will craft, farm, and fish while surviving the elements. Its hand-drawn aesthetic resembles cave drawings at times, sketching out animals and landmarks with bold representative shapes. Though the Kickstarter page hasn’t revealed much of the story, it promises a surreal world with quirky, offbeat characters.
