IGN - New Orbit manages to accomplish something very rare in the increasingly all-encompassing video game industry: it does something new. I've never played anything quite like it. Gamers play as an unnamed engineer, stranded in deep space with just a damaged shuttle and a will to survive.

News series featuring the latest gaming crowdfunding projects from Kickstarter, Indiegogo and beyond. In this week’s installment: slingshot through space in New Orbit, resurrect a dead ecosystem in Hey, Shu!, build your own damned Metroidvania in Below Kryll and invite Colonel Mustard to dinner, let him murder a bunch of people and defeat him in turn-based combat in Mansion Lord. We’ve also got the usual checkups on previously featured projects, including Festival of Magic.
