Enemy on Board Announces Kickstarter Campaign

Enemy on Board is a highly-anticipated game being developed by former League of Legends designers, and Windwalk Games have announced a Kickstarter Campaign. Enemy on Board has a fascinating concept, where six players wake up on a spaceship, and two are selected randomly to be aliens. The players must fight, lie, and deduce if they want to survive. The last team standing wins! The Kickstarter can be found via this link.

Colin Feo, CEO of Windwalk Games explains why they turned to Kickstarter:

“Kickstarter historically has been a great place to find those awesome, ride or die community members who can help us make Enemy on Board great.” Enemy on Board has succeeded early by building a significant community organically and listening for feedback. He stated, “We read every message in our Discord and regularly integrate our community’s feedback into the game.”
