Afterlife: Wandering Souls

I love the premise. You are dead, but something went wrong, now you wander the endless wastes of Tenebris. You have no memories of your previous life so now you recover them and explore this strange new world you find yourself in.
From the Kickstarter page,
Afterlife: Wandering Souls is a macabre fantasy game set in surreal plane known as the Tenebris. You take on the role of a Wanderer—someone who died, but didn’t end up in Heaven, Hell, or any other traditional afterlife. Devoid of any memories of your life on earth, you find yourself in an endless desert filled with gateways. Search different planes of existence for clues of your former life - or a semblance of one. Along the way you'll encounter strange inhabitants, alien cultures, and other humans who’ve lost all hope and are bent on destroying you.Sounds interesting as hell, pardon the pun.
Afterlife is Alice in Wonderland meets What Dreams May Come set in a world inspired by the works of Guillermo del Torro, Hayao Miyazaki, and surrealist artists.
Find lost memories, come to terms with how you died, and discover who you truly are.
It is by Elizabeth Chaipraditkul, who gave us WITCH: Fated Souls, so you know it will be good and look great. A quick peek at the KS page tells me this will be one gorgeous game with a LOT of playability.
There is a Quickstart guide out now for your testing. It is free and gives a solid feel for the game, Afterlife: Wandering Souls Quickstart. I will try to get a review of it up next week if I can.
I can't wait to try this out.
I have often wanted to run a Multi-life game where if characters die in one game they travel through the afterlife to the next game. Say die in D&D but resurrect in WitchCraft or Buffy.
This game looks like it would be the PERFECT centerpiece to this campaign idea.
I can't wait to see more of this!
