A comic-inspired indie horror game, Jazon and the Dead, is getting a Fig crowdfunding campaign just in time for Halloween. The title is the latest to debut on Fig, which has emerged as an alternative source to Kickstarter for funding games.

Indie game developer 2nd Studio hopes to raise $65,000 in funds on Fig, the crowdfunding platform that offers rewards and investment-based crowdfunding. The title is an action-adventure shooter with comic-book visuals and a B-movie plot. It’s expected to debut in 2017 on the PC and Mac.
