Orphan - Attempting the Craziest Kickstarter Yet

Hello all,

My name is Ian Hinden and this is my first Kickstarter. I am the creator of a new web show and alternate reality game called Orphan. We're trying something unconventional to welcome people to the world we've created. The entire Kickstarter is narrated in character by a member of our rogue's gallery on the show. In particular, I am proud of the images of our villains on the site.

Here is the plot. After his father's untimely death, Jason Diego inherits a document which he is told is an account of Genesis written by Eve. To solve the riddle, he must travel to a territory claimed by no land but ruled by a villain who controls a faceless Anonymous army. Our Kickstarter itself is full of puzzles the audience can solve to see more of the show's world.

Please take a look! We would love any feedback as well as support! Any one have a good place to post this?

Hey!

It's still a bit slow. We did something a bit unconventional, so that is to be expected. I'm just e-mailing blogs like crazy asking for coverage. We did get a few interviews already, though.

Any tips to market a particularly odd KS page? :)

How would you describe your ideal viewer? What other types of web series are they into?

Congrats on getting some coverage!
