Ten Years after Eternal Darkness was released, a new wave of funding and support seemed to become available for makers of forgotten and neglected games and genres. History would write a story of acceptance and success and good press in 2012, while quietly behind the scenes former Silicon Knights people work to launch a company and a crowdfunding project of their own.
Long overdue, part Three of our three-part (plus) series covering Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem and its attempted spiritual successor now is a posthumous survey of the failure of the Kickstarter for Shadow of the Eternals, split into multiple chapters.
