Diorama Break Begins Kickstarter Campaign

Studio Massimo Gauthier has begun a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for pixel-art tactical RPG Diorama Break. The campaign is looking for CA$95,000 in funding (c. US$70,000) and is set to run until May 30, 2026. Those who pledge at least CA$30 (c. US$22) will receive a Steam copy of the game as part of their backer rewards, with additional copies including console versions available at higher tiers.

Diorama Break is set in a science fantasy world, with players themselves connected to its protagonist. They act as a guide for the hero, who has been raised for the role, with the player’s treatment of him impacting how the story plays out. In combat, each turn is split into six substeps. Players and enemies queue multiple actions that are executed concurrently, with different actions taking up different substep durations and having different areas of effect. The game is currently expected to release in 2029 for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch consoles. A demo is currently available for PC via Steam and itch.io.
