This tower can stand tall.

The first-person, narrative-based Consortium: The Tower ended its crowdfunding campaign on Fig today, raising over $348,000 (its original goal was $300,000). It now joins other successful Fig campaigns like Pyschonauts 2 and Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch. Fig also noted in a press release sent to GamesBeat that nearly three-fourths of that dollar amount was invested at the equity level. Equity investing makes Fig unique from other crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and it gives funders a chance to earn some of the game’s profits.

“Fig has given us a way to empower our fans, the people who fuel our passion to make unique, original and innovative videogames,” said Gregory MacMartin, the chief executive officer of developer Interdimensional Games, in the press release. “Our backers and Fig’s investors have given life to Consortium: The Tower, and we’re excited to continue the next chapter in [main character] Bishop Six’s story.”

The original Consortium came out in 2014 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. The Tower marks the second chapter in a planned trilogy. Interdimensional plans to release it on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
