Just finished Zack and Wiki so I will be impatiently waiting for more details on this game.

Nice one, I love point and clicks! Hope it gets good reviews...
Also, it would be awesome to have native 1920x1200 graphics!

jonomcleish

The pictures look like what you would get if you mix, Iron Giant with Howls Moving Castle.

Awesome, this kinda takes me way back to the days of Pajama Sam, times a billion. Anybody remember Pajama Sam? He was soooo cool.

BambooCactus

Holy crap, this just reminded me of King's Quest, Quest for glory, Echo the dolphin and other Sierra point and clickers back in the day. Those were a blast back in the day and I wouldn't mind trying it out again with this game.

Eating_Sushi

Awesome. Mee wants. Wheeeeeen?

MadMinstrel

stunning! Looks like concept art..wow

drack48

Gorgeous.

what more can be said?

realyst2k

Looks good, but their game A New Beginning looks even better!

Gam3r

Looks phenomenal...Gotta love 3d but 3d can't make for such beautiful artwork and cartoonynish...

Goodthymes

@JohnnytheFuture: That you have.

Wow. That's the first time anyone's ever caught it (Usually any time anyone ever comments on my username it's an ad-hominem attack in regards to however I apparently feel about religion).

futurebiblehero

@futurebiblehero: seeing your name, have I really met another Stephen Merritt fan?

JohnnytheFuture

Hires point n click adventure in 2d? I don't notice any 3d geometry and everything fits well. I bet the Lucasarts adventure fans are totally drooling over this. I am.

Snappywave

Point and click? A game that stunningly, heart-wrenchingly gorgeous?

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven!
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven!

Where the hell's that coming from!? Is that Bryan Adams?

I've been waitin' for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true!

It is! It is Bryan Adams! Fuck me!

futurebiblehero

Wow.

FrigidAir44

Art is very nice.

Hopefully the gameplay and story deliver.

WILL YOU DELIVER?!

Aimless

Wow, this is beautiful stuff. Can't wait to see more on this.

dead_red_eyes

To me point & click is the only way to go for the pc. Artwork thats soo good you want to poke out your eye for fear you will never gaze upon something better.

"The Whispered World is made of. The game follows the young clown Sadwick, searching for meaning in his life with his pet worm Spot."

I read : The game follows the clown Sadwick, searching for the meaning of his life with his warm spot"

No more drinking after work for me. Other than that, this game looks great and damn Do I miss Point and Click adventures!

VoldtaEngler

damnit, another game to look out for.

Cactuar

@hikergirl: Awesome. Can't wait to own it on Wii

Sandbox_Emperor

The character ain't exactly doing it for me but the awesome sceneries makes it ok!

McKack

Here's a little preview of Whispered World (the article was translated from Adventure Treff):

As for A New Beginning, if you do their website, it says it will be on the Wii and DS. Here's another preview of that game as well:

[www.adventuregamers.com],852

They're both gorgeous looking games with cool premises (not a rehash of old themes like those that have been seen in some more recent AGs).

hikergirl

The art is beautiful and everything but...

...does anyone else think the worm looks a liiiittle creepy? It looks like it has that "ill eat you and your children" look in its eyes.

Zenian

This actually looks pretty cool!

LeLoi

I havent played a good point and click game in a while (maybe cause i havent bothered to find one)

So i look forward to this :)

Fluffy22

These screens are gorgeous and that alone will get me to play this game.

TheCrimsonOrder

on artistic merit alone this is getting my money.

geoffcbassett

Please god bring back the wonderful point and click adventures. I miss that classic style of videogames! Bobbin Threadbear, Guybrush Threepwood, Sam and Max, Manny Calivera, those were the days...

thekoopatrooper

o mi. beautiful, classic, dark, european.. my brothers grimm/alice spot was just heavily scratched.

geekgrrl

Crazy timing, since I'm on a monkey island kick right now. :D

CaptLtrl

Oh yes! That looks gorgeous. My only gripe? I want them in 16:9 or 16:10. Then they'd be _perfect_.

akwinters

I'll be following this one closely. The point and click era ended way before it should have

Sandbox_Emperor

Love point and click adventure games. They are the only things that can get me back to PC gaming at times (since I sit on a PC all day at work now).

But, won't this, and the other Point 'n' Click by the same developer be in German? IF it gets localized, won't it take another several months, and suffer the same flaws as other recent non-English games have had?

Calavera302

@Aeralindor: Oh why did you have to mention Loom? :( That game still makes me giggle uncontrollably and get all weepy within the space of 10 minutes.

As much as all of the other adventure classics (see: Sierra/LucasArts) had their charms and some quality writing (especially with the funny), Loom was one of the only ones with any real pathos.

Jazhuis

@HurricaneDave: Torin's Passage and I completely agree. What a great one.

EVERYBODY NOW- point-and-click. point-and-click. point-and-click..

Fonzy

Reminds me of the Black Cauldron.

Friend

I love that Point'n'Clicks are making a comeback. Or at least trying to.

Lucas Arts SCUMM games were amazing, Zack & Wiki was awesome.. and all of the Sam & Max's have been pretty fantastic.

And of course I'm a fan of all the DS ones, like Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk, etc...

I'm just hoping the puzzles are as good as these visuals. I really dig this style... but these games are really only fun when they have very clever puzzle design.

RemyDuvalle

I miss old school adventure games... makes me wanna go and play the old space quest games again, as well as all the other classics.

thebluick

Looks beautiful. More. Not more screen caps, more people doing this.

justhesh

@DigitalHero:
When I was little, those were almost the only games I would play. KQ and Kyrandia were my favorites. Hope this is good.

Darkest Daze

Wow looks just like Torin's Adventure. I wish they could have made this into an Action Adventure game instead of point and click.

HurricaneDave

@Erwin: but... thats the appeal!!! lol, I love the art. I hope it is fun too.

Irenicus-the one and only

@Moonshadow101: Point and clicks most certainly did not suck

Ollivander

This looks very promising. The art direction is amazing.. now I want to see it in action.

Project Thanatos

Looks awesome. Can't wait.

Jason144

That looks beautiful. Incidentially, I still go back and play Monkey Island 1, 2, CMI, Loom, Day of the Tentacle, etc. and there is nothing bad about them except the length when you know the solutions to all the puzzles. The games are just far too short once you know the answers sadly. Great games none the less. I'm very interested in this game.

Aeralindor

Good name, great art, character looks a little wierd, but this game looks great, it's been far too long since the last great point and click games of the 90's.

Balmung576

Considering how games like these sell nowadays, expect those screenshots to be the only backgrounds you'll see in the release version.

Just keeping it real, that's all...

boopadoo

Methinks people remember the past with a bit too much nostalgic fondness and not quite enough "Wait a minute, that sucked!"

Or, to be fair, at least "Wait a minute, that wasn't really especially good."

Anyway, if nothing else, it'll be different. Commence the XBLA/PSN port or be lost to darkness.

Moonshadow101

Did Adventure genre just get a quick CPR?

Fyren

Ahh, the good old 2d adventure games. Kinda getting a little Curse of Monkey Island wibe from those screenshots. C'mon Lucasarts, finish up the canceled Sam & Max 2, and make Monkey Island 5 now! Release them on the Wii aswell and presto. Adventure games are back.

Santar

Oh hell yes, bring back the point and click games.
And look at that art work, so detailed. So much work has gone into every screen.

TheToiletDuck

Very cool :). I miss my Quest for Glory days.

Now, watch another hundred old time gamers chime in with similar comments.

Dakkonfire

@radink360: What? I actually don't like the art (too "sword in the stone"), but I'm always up for some good pointing and clicking.
It's intuitive!

Erwin

Reminds me of Legend of Mana's water color art style. Very pretty.

unicronband

Yes, yes, a million times yes.

ScotteusMaximus

@Behonkiss: I'd like to see it hit more consoles myself. The Wii, PS3 (with the mouse support), 360 would be nice. I'm not really understanding why you'd want to put it only on the PC at this point, when the adventure-style titles have been reborn lately more on the console settings. Leave it on the PC, sure, but make sure as many people as possible can enjoy it.

Ampillion lives a life much like No More Heroes.

I. Heart. Point-And-Click Adventure Games for the PC.

<3

TalKeaton: Game Design Major

I have prepared a press release:

Yes, please.

Thank you for your time.

Anemone

This puts a smile on my face :) A classic adventure with Hand painted scenes?!! Ive been waiting 10 years to see one of these again. I wonder what the chances are of seeing this on the consoles... I'd gladly play it with an analog stick if necessary ;)

okenny :)

Wow, point and click is back! The good old Kings Quest games.

DigitalHero

That looks beautifull. I will definatley keep an eye out for this for my PC :)

It has been awhile since I played a game like this, with pretty paintings.

Irenicus-the one and only

Between this and A New Beginning (By the same company, no less), I'm very excited for some old-fashioned adventure games in the future. Wonder if they're planning a Wii and DS release for this as well?

Behonkiss

He finally sold out:

Erwin

The art is fantastic. Point and click. Not so much.
