Wil Wheaton to Star In There Came An Echo Strategy Game

Popular fan culture personality Wil Wheaton will lend his dulcet voice skills to There Came An Echo, an upcoming voice-controlled strategy game from Iridium Studios.

The game is in production and in the midst of a Kickstarter funding campaign that closes on March 21, 2013.

What exactly is a voice-controlled strategy game, and what role will Mr. Wheaton play, you ask? Watch this video to see for yourselves.

Iridium are one of a handful of development studios to have successfully Kickstarted and launched a game, and begin work on a second Kickstarter title.

Iridium's first Kickstarter game was Sequence, a rhythm RPG, which was funded in 2010 for $2602.00, more than four times its meager $600 goal. Sequence was released in 2011 and Iridium reports to have sold more than 100K units of Sequence to date on Steam, most at $5 a pop.

There Came An Echo's Kickstarter campaign closes on March 21, 2013, and is currently sitting at almost $70K of its $90K goal. Looks interesting, but let's be honest: we're just grateful this isn't a Kinect game.
