Canada, Montreal –August 10, 2021.
The Canada-based indie game publishers Incube8 Games and the retro game company Retro Modding, today announced with great excitement and joy that they are going to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the 20-year old inventive tactical RPG “Infinity” for the Gameboy Color on August 18th, 2021.

In Infinity, an ancient, nameless evil stirs beneath the earth, twisting the land and its people alike with its corrupting force. Two rival nations careen toward war, as shadowy figure arms them both with unholy weapons of immense power.

This epic tale frames a roleplaying game with a unique tactical battle system, a detailed world with over 50 explorable areas and more than 100 items, and beautiful 8-bit graphics — all to immerse you into the world of Infinity!
