"The world is laid out specifically so that you can choose to explore in any direction you want. You can choose to progress the storyline at your own pace while immersing yourself inside the lore and sidequests of the kingdom. These sidequests are not your typical "find my chicken" type quests but instead are designed to make the player feel like he is making a significant difference in the lands around him.
Depending on how you play the game, which path you take in your exploration of the lands, and who you decide to party with, the game's story and ending can change fairly drastically."
If this game looks like something you want to see released head over to Kickstarter and check it out. Guardians of the Rose will launch on PC, Mac and Linux and if they push over the 80k stretch goal they will also release it on Wii U, 3DS, & OUYA.

Looks very nice! But, Wii U and Ouya for stretch goals? Sounds counter-intuitive.
I think Wii U makes sense but I'm with you on the Ouya part.
