Why ask $20k CAD ($15k USD)? You can't fund a video game with just that!
That’s true, but the case of SYF is a bit peculiar. We have already achieved a massive amount of work with close to no funding whatsoever. The bulk of the game is done: we could conceivably wrap-up some of the game’s rougher edges and ship it asap on Steam… but it won’t be very good.
With “just” $20k, we can get dev kits for all consoles to test cross-platform play and other essential tools we can’t get otherwise. With more, we could support financially our team members so they can quit their part-time jobs and focus on SYF full time. We could make a game that people will love. We’ve been at it awhile, we know very well what everything cost. We just need your support.

How much will the game cost on release?
The exact release pricing of the game is not settled yet. However, it will certainly not be less than the price of the “Cultist’s Pact” starter pledge ($20 CAD / $15 USD). Kickstarter backers get the best deal for the game and its merchandises, regardless of their pledge level.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
