Classi5ed has opened a Kickstarter campaign for Lie of Caelum: Spirit, a PC (Steam) RPG built in RPG Maker MZ and inspired by Xenogears and Phantasy Star. The campaign targets roughly 5.5 million yen, with the game promising a 60-hour main campaign plus 20 hours of side content. The campaign runs through September 30, 2026, with release planned for the third quarter of 2027.
The game is set in a world where SF philosophy and cosmic religion collide, following people bound by secrets and divided by class as they are pulled into a large-scale conspiracy. Combat is turn-based with an input combo system, and mech battles sit alongside high-speed shooting through vast areas, exploration, racing, and card game minigames.
The roughly 5.5 million yen goal covers asset development and music composition. If the campaign exceeds it, stretch goals will expand the 3D asset library, broaden localization, bring in additional composers, and fund stronger marketing ahead of release. An interview with the developer, covering the game's content and development history, has also been published.
