Somewhere along the way I lost track of Silence: The Whispered World 2, probably because its makers somehow decided that simply Silence [official site] would be a better name. Nnnope, that's a name which sounds like a Slender Man fangame so it'll barely register as I keep scrolling down my inbox. But! Silence is indeed the sequel to the adventure game our John once called…
Remember when we told you about The Whispered World 2, and you were all like, "Yeah, it was quite good, but Sadwick was so bloody annoying." And we were like, "No, but look! This seems to be about a brother and sister who aren't Sadwick." And you were like, "Well, okay, we'll see, but that seems good news." Well, we've seen. For reasons we cannot…
That wasn't a demand for quiet. It's the somewhat confusingly back-to-front title for the news that Daedalic's best game to date is getting a sequel. And with it, quite the shift in art style.
I've been looking forward to The Whispered World since PC Gamer's Graham Smith returned from Cologne last year to tell me how lovely it looked. A point and click adventure into which a huge amount of love was being poured. It's been out in Germany for a long while, but has now been released in English. My review of the game is now up on…
You may remember in September last year, when - among the other splendid happenings, such as the first communications with the people of the Martian canals and the discovery that ancient Egyptians were the inventors of the popular dance "the locomotion" - there was The Whispered World demo... in German. And now - in the month when lasers appeared mysteriously from the nostrils of all…
The Whispered World, a promising German adventure game, has now been given a release date for the Europe and the US. 23 April on Steam, and available on the same day at retail in both locations. The game has been released in Germany, with a demo, and shows off some really lovely 2D artwork. There's now an English language trailer, which you can see below.
Talking of demos I can't understand, the gorgeous point and click adventure The Whispered World has a demo out. In German. Which I don't speak a word of. Which makes me sad, because it looks fantastic. However, I'm aware that people reading this site can speak German! Especially the ones in Germany. So it's good news for you. And for the rest of us, it's…
Germany really seems to be standing up for the point and click adventure. With varying results. At the shinier end is Deck13's Ankh, but more often by the time they're in our English-speaking hands the humour is completely lost by poor translations and localisation. Nevermind the crappy puzzle design that's currently endemic throughout the genre. So, is there hope on the horizon from German developers…
