I've been enamored with this game ever since it was called "Hero" in development at Midway (before they collapsed). If you ever played Psi-Ops on the Xbox or PS2, it's basically a spiritual successor to that game, as many of Awakened's devs worked on Psi-Ops as well. It's an open-world sandbox with the ability to fully customize your character's appearance, as well as super-powered abilities. In theory you can do anything from make a Spider-Man with a machinegun or Marcus Fenix with telekinetic powers.
The developers finally made a Kickstarter for the game, which I've been hoping for since Kickstarter became a thing. The best part is that it's now PC based, while a few years ago it was for consoles. Even one of the stretch goals is dedicated mod support, which I'm sure would interest some of you.

I'm hoping to spread as much word of this as possible, since this is seriously a game that needs to exist.
