Shoji Meguro, the composer perhaps best known for his incredible work on the Persona franchise, is making a game of his own. It's called Guns Undarkness, it's being funded via Kickstarter, and has exceeded the stretch goal required to lock in a console release. No word on precisely where or when, but Meguro himself celebrated the feat in classic fashion by composing a track for the game in real-time during the final hours of the campaign.
Meguro will serve as creative director on the project but will contribute music to the game as well. You can already hear some of it, and it's sure to appeal to Persona 5 fans in particular. Precisely 2000 backers pledged over $129,000 to the campaign, which was almost five times the game's initial asking price.
In addition to the console version, other stretch goals that were reached include improved character models, motion capture, and even a cinematic music video. The gameplay in Guns Undarkness resembles a pretty bizarre mix between Persona and Metal Gear Solid, of all things, and is one we will be keeping an eye on.

Looks promising, I like Ilya’s art style. Hopefully it will be a good game.
Btw $100 for an artbook? Come on…
First I've heard of this. A shame it's only newsworthy now it's too late to back it. Interesting to hear about it, anyway.
Metal Gear Solid + Persona could be one heck of a concoction if it turns out great. Looking forward to it!
The last Kickstarter game that was actually good was Hollow Knight. Not sure what else after.
I hope some bigger investors will still help this along the way. I like the artstyle.
For some reason it reminds me of binary domain.
Happy to hear they were able to reach the console goal!
