As a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, this game jumped right out at me, Asylum by Senscape and Augustin Cordes.
Asylum is a point and click adventure game set in a large, decaying mental asylum. One can assume that, with the setting and the Lovecraft inspiration, the game will be completely terrifying in the most delightful way. As much as people would like to deny it, everyone loves being scared. It's one of the things that make us feel truly alive.
There aren't a lot of details about Asylum as of yet as Senscape feel it better to keep story details under-wraps to surprise the players, I think that this is a good technique, too much information is liable to sully the experience and no-one wants their experiences sullied.
According to the Asylum Kickstarter page, the story of Asylum will be "very twisty and satisfying." Now I don't know about you, but those are two words I love to hear when describing any game, twists keep things fresh and new, also with close to 100 rooms to explore in the Hanwell Mental Institute, filled with detail and back story, Hanwell's history is your's to discover.
For helping to fund this project via Kickstarter, you can receive some pretty awesome rewards, including being immortalized in-game, if you pledge $10,000 you can even be an integral point of the story, appearing twice and being a bit of a nuisance to as many players as the game gets. Which will hopefully be a lot as Asylum sounds incredible.
At the time of writing, Asylum is 52% funded with 19 days to go.
The other rewards I haven't mentioned can also be found on the Asylum Kickstarter page
