Remember the 80s movie The Keep (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7t0B2URcT8)?
Deeper Darkness is a 2 player boardgame where one player plays a squad of Naughty Nazis who are trying to escape or destroy a nightmare filled location. The other player is Evil Spirit Dude who is feeding off the Nazi's fear and becoming more powerful the longer the game continues.
It looks interesting. Anybody backing this one?

That does look interesting, but is in no danger of getting funded.
I'm curious to see why it isn't getting funded. I don't, as a general rule, back games from people who have never done this before (which leads to the whole "can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job" cycle, but it's my money), and I wonder if the "play as Nazis" thing turned people off. "Allies trying to take down an abandoned Nazi bunker" might be more palatable, but I'd buy it as-is at retail if it were ever released.
Looks pretty awesome. I tend to only back KS for miniatures though
I love evil vs. evil stories.
Wish the proposed game had miniatures.
The novel The Keep is awesome pulp. It has this dumb/brilliant fake-out going on where for the first part of the book you think the Ratzis are against Dracula, then you find out it's really Sauron.

One of my favourite novels. The pacing is wonderful, the story original while still seeming like the kind of story that would be atypical for the pulps, and the build-up to the finale was exhilirating in a way that the only comparison I can think of is Golden/Mignola's semi-recent
Baltimore.
The movie was....disappointing. The second movie Tangerine Dream ruined with their music I think.
