Indie developer Hybrid Fiction Games has successfully reached their Kickstarter goal of $18,000 for Stratagem Lost, their debut turn-based strategy RPG, with 12 days remaining in the campaign. This milestone, backed by over 200 contributors, paves the way for additional features through stretch goals, including custom campaigns and a roguelike mode.
Early supporters are still able to back the project and secure exclusive rewards, such as beta access, a digital artbook, and opportunities to influence game development.
Stratagem Lost blends turn-based combat and visual novel storytelling in a punk fantasy world scarred by war. Known for its aggressive and dynamic gameplay, it emphasizes team building and strategic choices, all wrapped in a vibrant aesthetic inspired by Dadaism, pop art, and genres like alternative rock. A free demo of the game is available on Steam, having already made waves during October’s Steam Next Fest.
The game is slated for a Q4 2026 release, and more details can be found on Stratagem Lost’s Steam page. Below Full Kickstarter Trailer.
