I just can't trust this. It does look peachy and I don't mind another poor man's Sims 3, but honestly? Fable devs? Fable, prototype of horrible UI, devs?
While I won't be backing it, if players write the release version is fun, I'll buy.
This looks like a poor man's Balrum. If the prototype looked interesting to anyone, I'd really suggest picking up Balrum. It also has the typical crpg battles of a game like Eschalon. Mix Stardew Valley with Eschalon and you have Balrum.
