Indie developer Hat Hair Games, led by Senior Technical Lighting Artist Matt Heiniger, is seeking support to finalize their innovative project, Reclamation. This 2.5D claymation Metroidvania game introduces a unique body-swapping mechanic, allowing players to possess and control various enemies, each with distinct abilities.
Check out the trailer:
The game’s assets are meticulously hand-sculpted and then 3D scanned using advanced photogrammetry techniques, resulting in a distinctive visual style that sets it apart in the indie game scene. Players can explore six visually distinct regions from the outset, navigating the expansive world by inhabiting 18 different controllable enemies, including yetis, dragons, and one-eyed monsters.
Over the past few years, Reclamation has evolved from a prototype into a feature-rich project. Despite significant progress, Heiniger is seeking additional support to bring the game to completion. He is reaching out to investors and collaborators to help realize the full potential of Reclamation by expanding the development team.
Here is a prototype video:
