Knockoff: A New Campaign Crowdfunding in Less Than 30 Days!

Hello! It's Banana here - I'm super excited to announce that I'm working on our next crowdfunding campaign (and sequel to Forgery), Knockoff.
Knockoff is a story of a desperate fast fashion designer named Marcos, who discovers a cursed dress design from an estate sale.
It is a solo horror tabletop journaling game where the player (you) will be cutting out fabric textures and gluing them over a croquis (a drawing of a fashion model). The fabrics that you choose determine the outcome of the story. This is the second game in The Mephistopheles Trilogy (the first being Forgery).
If you wanna check out what the fabrics look like, you can get a taste of that when you scroll down (but if you do not like gross meat photos, do not scroll down!)
If this sounds interesting to you, please follow along before we launch later in 2025!
Also...are you interested in a little behind-the-scenes look at how this all became a thing? Check out this very frantic video.
Here's a quick fabric sample that appears at the end of the game that you can use for your dress (there are a few others that are as gross if not grosser):
Like always, appreciate all your support and hope you like this weird little game <3

Shipping Updates!
By now, most of you should already have received your copies! We only have 3 more packages to send out and we should be all fulfilled!
If you have not yet received your copy of the game, please send us a message via Kickstarter and we'll look into your package.
New Project Coming Up...
We also wanted to share with you a new project we have coming up soon called... THE DARKNESS AT THE BRINK OF OHIO (insert thunder sounds here).
The Darkness at the Brink of Ohio is a solo horror journaling game with a soundtrack. It's about a local radio show in the surrounding area of Akron, Ohio that was heard across the state before it happened. DJ Mike from 106.6 The Brink was doing his late night show when something strange took over, causing a terrible event to befall its listeners.
You are playing one of the listeners who was working the late night shift. You are documenting your work in a journal while hearing DJ Mike undergo his transformation into something beyond this realm. This game uses a soundtrack for you to listen to while you journal and answer prompts.
The major themes of this game are parasocial relationships and hypervisibility within a small fanbase.
The are content warnings for this game include:
Natural horror
Body horror
Psychological horror
Parasocial relationships
Listening to someone’s boundaries being pushed via sexual harassment and other forms of harassment
Listening to someone transform into something other than human
We have the soundtrack available for free for everyone to check out:
The team and I just wanted to say thank you again for all of your continued support. We would not be making all of these cool games if it weren't for you, so we cannot thank you enough!
xoxo
Banana

Hi all! We're so excited to share with you the sample copy of the game!
There was a small bit of damage on the book itself so we're going to let them know to make sure that doesn't happen with the copies when we receive them and ship them out to you.
As far as our estimated date for shipping, we are hoping to start shipping the end of October!
Again, if you have not filled out your BackerKit, please fill it out! We would like to close it out soon. If you have lost your survey, you can find it here: https://deimos-academy.backerkit.com/
