I reported on The Seed last year, and forgot about it. It's now on kickstarter asking for £15,000, and has seven days left to get funded. It's described as the following.

MDT, the team behind the award winning S.T.A.L.K.E.R. MISERY mod, present a seminal project taking the form of a post-apocalyptic visual novel and showcasing the gravity of choice. Your choice.

Imagine you are one of the last surviving members of the human race. After all your family and friends were lost in the struggle with an invisible foe, it is solely up to you to slowly crawl back from the depths of hell, against all odds. In 2026, 11 years after the global apocalypse our Russian protagonist – played by you – is forced to abandon his underground shelter for the very first time after the disaster, beginning the journey that will change his life forever. Prepare for a world of pain and struggle in this single player story-driven interactive story game with rich plot branching and moral dilemmas. Let the plot unfold according to your mental focus and your survival priorities.
More information.

Is it sad or good when a choose your own adventure has more choices and consequences than a full rpg?

By using a plain English format, your only restriction on c&c is how much time you're willing to spend writing. Writing is the cheapest part of creating any computer game. In a full rpg, you need to have graphic environments, challenging enemies, character portraits, concept art, a sophisticated game engine, etc. etc.

I'm not sure how you quantify the number of choices and consequences anyway. The dev said something about fifty different endings. That's certainly a high number, but I think we should reserve judgement until we see how he gets there.

Well the dates on the front-page are not always accurate. The date was originally June but like everything on kickstarter they always change.

So thanks for the new dates I'll go ahead and change them now.;)
