Tako no Himitsu exceeds Kickstarter goal, reveals awesome drag line up

Tako no Himitsu: Ocean of Secrets is an action RPG made as a tribute to the Game Boy Advance era of gaming and its Kickstarter was fully funded in just 3 days, and exceeded its goal by over 300%!

In Tako no Himitsu, your goal is to confront the unspoken: toxic secrets that those in power use to shape history to their liking. You join a cast of survivors working through their own troubles on a quest to save the world at large, in an epic yet intimate story about queerness, trauma, and revolution.

The developers want to represent queer culture, and especially the art of drag, in the best way possible, adapting it to their fantasy JRPG universe. In Tako no Himitsu, the drag career arc is one of the main storylines of the game, carried by the character Karan. Here the character will be able to meet cameos from real life drag performers who have been captured in gorgeous Game Boy Advance style!

Every day of the Kickstarter campaign, the developer’s Twitter account revealed a new drag artist with some amazing results and hype built around each reveal. Check out this wrap up of all the reveals:
