Surgent Studios Seeks Funding for Afro-Gothic RPG 'Project Uso'

The game blends RPG and beat-em-up elements with a unique body-sharing mechanic and is set in the Tales of Kenzera universe.

Project Uso is an Afro-Gothic RPG inspired by Planescape: Torment, developed by Surgent Studios, known for Tales of Kenzera: ZAU.
The game features a vampiric android protagonist who houses the spirit of Eshu, a trickster god, creating dynamic gameplay through their conflicting powers.
Surgent Studios is actively seeking a funding partner to bring Project Uso to life, having developed a fully functional prototype.
The studio has faced financial difficulties, including layoffs and redundancy notices, due to the underperformance of their previous title.
Project Uso's narrative explores themes of identity and parenthood, influenced by the personal experiences of studio head Abubakar Salim.
