I was browsing Facebook late last night when magic realist master Haruki Murakami shared this Kickstarter project to create a game inspired by Haruki Murakami:
Kickstart here. More from there:
Three years ago I sat down with a friend to brainstorm for making a game. We both came up with the idea of a game inspired by short stories of renowned Japanese author Haruki Murakami. His work had inspired us profoundly and we thought that the vague, surrealistic reality of his fictional world would have a great potential for being turned into something visual and could lead to the creation of odd characters, an essential element in game design. After a while, my friend moved to another country, but I continued working on the idea. I wrote a script for the game, inspired by more than 20 stories by Murakami and started working on the game with a new team.
No mention of Miles Davis, making spaghetti, or Tokyo bachelors in their 30s unexpectedly meeting strange women, but if it's good enough for Murakami, it's good enough for me.
