Monolith Games are at GenCon demoing a bunch of their beautiful games. We stopped off to hear how things are progressing with Batman: Gotham City Chronicles and then take a look at their upcoming game Claustrophobia.
Claustrophobia does look sweet – the “not a dungeon crawler” dungeon crawler looks great on the table.

Claustrophobia, while looking beautiful, isn’t my thing, i have my wallet on standby for 2019, waiting on Conan 2.0 and Mythic Battles: Ragnarok.
Holy CRAP that Batcave! And since my work computer doesn’t have sound, I can only speculate, but Claustrophobia looks equally beautiful and intense!
Keen to see what’s on offer for Claustrophobia and to see how it does on KS
Not doing stretch goals is perfectly valid and you can still pick up loads of backers but the comments and backer engagement seems much weaker as there’s a lot less to argue about. (see the recent Dungeons & Doggies KS)
but the initial offering is going to need to look as good as the finished KS offering from MOnoliths previous projects as backers will have an idea of the ‘value’ that can be offered by the company already and if it doesn’t look as good will likely lead to an angry hard pass from many
One more step towards KS not being KS
This model has already been done by Queen Games. It was broken almost a year ago. Nobody complained then. The only reason people seem to be complaining now is because Monolith was honest and upfront and sent out info about what they are doing.
that bat-cave looks incredible!!!
I jumped on the Conan Kickstarter early on and it is a tremendous game with fabulous production values. Very impressive. Now Claustrophobia was one I came so very very close to buying in its original iteration, but never did. The Monolith version has me really tempted. Something about the 17th century, the 30 Years War, Europe overrunning the new world and descending into hell that appeals to me (signed up for Anno Domini 1666 already.) Might be hard to miss.
Looking forward to Claustrophobia.
Can’t wait to get that Batman game. I like the Conan system the game is based on, and Batman is my favorite comic book hero so I had to go all-in! Not sure is Claustrophobia is to my tastes, thematically, but I will check it out once it hits KS.
Wow…Claustrophobia is 10 years old already? Not sure I like the sale over KS…but hey…KS is braking their own rules for years…because it makes a lot of money…
Claustrophobia already has my credit card on go! I wish they could get the MB:P 1.5 kit sooner.
really interested by claustrophobia i ll probably pick it up
Interested to see how this new approach to kickstarter goes for them
Wow… cannot wait for Batman
so many good kickstarters comming
The display looks great the figure’s look great and the game sounds brilliant Guy’s.
There’s definitely a problem with the sound … but who cares batman is broading and silent and looks great. Kerr Pow!
Looking forward to receiving my Batman game
i will definitly have an eye on this kickstarter
Props to Monolith for trying a different model with Claustrophobia. They have had multiple big kickstarters in the past and it is great to see a company putting their own resources into a project upfront when possible.
Can’t wait for Batman!
I will wait and see about the Claustrophobia KS…not enough info out there for now to be an instant pledge.
