As I said:

SIENNA STORM, a Kickstarter with a ton of celebrities working on it, including Sheldon Pacotti, Tony Evans, and Alexander Brandon and MCA stretch goals: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1591209713/sienna-storm

Too bad it's this:

Sienna Storm is a unique interactive comic-style video game. Every scene is a hand drawn, animated work of art and there are multiple actions points the player may select to progress the game. Dialogues are rich and non-linear, and choices you make throughout the game not only have consequences, but also influence your standings with certain characters and involved parties

There is a fair amount of challenges to resolve such as combat, hacking computers, and tailing an enemies. When you enter these challenges, you play a short strategic card game using a customizable deck.

At the start of each card match, you can modify your deck to best suit the situation, even adding in new cards you've earned over the course of the game. This allows you to pick a strategy – trickery, gadgetry, or straight-up violence – that works best for the mission and your personal play style. But watch out! The matches are dynamic and based on the story, so you never know what new enemies, old allies, or dramatic plot twists are in the cards to keep you on your toes!

What. The. Fuck. I think they've invented a new genre here - the CTE game (Card-Time Event). :lol:

You cannot blame them for trying something new.

One of my first RPG, was the original Dragon Ball Z game for the Super Famicom. The battles were resolved also via a card game. Each turn, you're given random cards with various attack/defense stats, and sometimes special effects (special attack/"magic" cards). You assigned those cards to each character in your party and then to which enemy you attacked. I liked that a lot, actually.

Wow, the lead writer of Deus Ex is on this, he made that game what it is. Too bad it looks like the Kickstarter will fail.

Also, lol at the Chris Avellone stretch goal.
