The Kickstarter
Since announcing their intent to bring the Mysterious Cities of Gold into the gaming world a few months back, Ynnis have been swamped with emails and social media messages from all over the World requesting to consider a PC version as well as an international release (the game was originally only poised for a French launch). Ynnis is now turning to Kickstarter for the budget extension that'd be necessary for the job.

If their funding goal of 30.000 US$ is met, Ynnis commits to:

• Port the game to PC (high-quality conversion)


• Fully localize the game in English, including voice dubbing of cinematic cut-scenes.


• Subtitle the game in Spanish.

Numerous exclusive rewards are listed on the Kickstarter page for the project.
