The Kickstarter campaign for The Black Glove has officially been revealed by Day For Night Games, and independent studio comprised of former Irrational Games’ folks who helped make BioShock and BioShock Infinite.

As we mentioned when the game was revealed back in June, The Black Glove is a narrative-driven, first-person adventure game which draws inspiration from The Stanley Parable and Gone Home, the latter of which was also developed by a team of former BioShock developers. The Black Glove takes place in the Equinox Theater, vaudevillian venue that seems to exist outside the confines of space and time.

As Day For Night explains, The Equinox is, “...an eerie 1920s theatre that appears unstuck from conventional reality. A venue pervaded by weird dream logic, inexplicable holes in space, unshielded x-ray art installations, and tasteful use of crushed velvet.” Think of an Art Nouveau take on The Black Lodge from Twin Peaks, and you’ll be in the right neighborhood.

The theater houses a trio of creative: “The artist Marisol, the filmmaker Avery Arnault, and musical act Many Embers. Their work is in bad shape when you arrive and it's taken a strange, metaphysical toll on the theatre. Time flows backward in areas. Weird things peek out of once-sealed doorways. Unearthly music plays.”

Your task in the game is to travel back and forth through time, manipulating events in the theater and their lives, and surveying the artistic outcomes that arise from your meddling. You'll need to pay attention to the artists, the audience, and the environment itself in order to mold time to your liking. There are no wrong answers in The Black Glove, and players should to treat the world of the Equinox as a playground.

The Kickstarter trailer showcases the same fantastic writing, acting, and art direction that you’d expect from a team that helped make BioShock and Infinite such powerful experiences. It looks like a smart, atmospheric, narrative-driven experience that harkens back to the quieter moments in Rapture and Columbia.

We’ll have much more on The Black Glove throughout its development.
