Launching the proceedings with Red Robin, the reimagined version of the classic Red Riding Hood character.

A year has passed since Robin lost her memory, but the bloody past slowly catches up with her, as she discovers a world of murder, conspiracies and magic.
Kickstarter rewards for backers include limited edition music boxes, art books, plushies, t-shirts, posters, engraved crystals and hand-drawn illustrations, along with a number of stretch goals for the campaign. The Kickstarter campaign gives gamers the opportunity to determine the scope and scale of Dragon Fin Soup, directly influencing the shape of the game and participating during its development. Pledges beyond the funding goal of $24,000 will kick off new stretch goals to expand the core game by adding exciting new content and gameplay features.
