While I don't know if this will deliver in the end, I feel like the premise alone is worth a thread.
It's being developed by a small company in India and a Rock Paper Shotgun story brought in a lot more money than they expected. The goal of $3000 has already been reached and they're approaching $13000 with 26 days remaining. A lot of the extra money is going towards a graphics overhaul since that's clearly the least impressive part of the game.
Take the time to read a few project updates. I like how these guys write.

Unrest is a story driven RPG set in ancient India in the midst of an uprising. Play as ordinary men and women struggling for safety, freedom, food for their children, and a chance at peace.
-Explore the drought and famine stricken streets of an ancient Indian city, where a fog of hunger and discontent shrouds the natural beauty of the land.
-Use the detailed conversation system to instill fear, command respect and gain the trust and friendship of others. Understand your enemies and make them see your side of the story.
-The narrative adapts to failure and death - instead of a game over screen, the plot continues and your fate becomes part of it. However, you can still save and load at any time if you want to.
-Make tough and interesting decisions in the lives of people untouched by destiny. The traditional heros quest of prophecy, power, and revenge forms a backdrop to your own struggles.
-Combat is brutal, decisive and always avoidable. Bloodshed might be the easy way out in some situations, but has lasting consequences beyond those apparent on the surface.
-Hand drawn 2D art and soundtrack based on ancient Indian music to help you immerse yourself in the world.
-Full mod support lets you create your own worlds and adventures.
