Dubium is a 5-player social deduction game set in a near-future sci-fi universe.
Players take on the role of Frontier or Traitor and must escape from an abandoned space station by any means necessary. Frontiers will cooperate to repair solar panels that power the escape pod while trying to uncover the identity of the sole Traitor.
Players must not relax until they escape; the Traitor will sabotage the Frontiers’ efforts at every step as they try to complete their own mission. The Traitor needs to hide their identity and use deceit and treachery to take the Frontiers out one by one in order to escape the station unopposed.
Everyone wants to get out alive. Trust no one!
Developer Mumo Studio has launched a Dubium Kickstarter campaign, looking to raise $5,000.
The Kickstarter campaign offers several perks and incentives for those who support this exciting new project, including the option to choose the name and final message for in-game NPCs.
“We want to bring DUBIUM to as many platforms as possible so that people can play it in their preferred way. To do so, we need additional funds to make console ports and purchase dev kits. We are also using Kickstarter to form a community around our project. We want to find those who’d be interested in a game like this and involve you all in our development process! We could just release what we have now onto Steam but that would be such a waste of a good game. It wouldn’t give us enough satisfaction considering the time and effort that artists, developers, and designers put into the development of this game. We believe that the game could be expanded and filled with excitement through the support from our community.”
While Kickstarter backers are guaranteed a spot in the upcoming invite-only closed beta test, MUMO Studio encourages all fans to sign up on the official DUBIUM website for a chance to be included.
