Daedalic Entertainment At GC 2008 – The Whispered World DS

12:20AM Mike Fahey | The great thing about the annual Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, is that you get to see work from publishers and developers who wouldn’t generally make it to gaming events is Japan or the states. Take German developer Daedalic Entertainment, for instance. I’ve been following their fantasy adventure game The Whispered World since they teased it back in October. Now I’ll actually get a chance to check it out, along with point & click adventure A New Beginning for the DS, PC, and Wii. They’ll also be debuting a DS port of The Whispered World, along with Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, plus a couple unannounced projects to keep things fresh. There used to be an entire hall dedicated to games like these at the old E3. I guess we’ve got to go to Germany for them now. Definitely looking forward to it! More »

All of this, along with the most relaxing background music that’s ever graced a flash website. Seriously, I’ve had this opened in the background all morning and couldn’t for the life of me figure out why I was having such a pleasant Friday morning.

The Whispered World

12:40AM Mike Fahey | On this most spooky of spooky days, nothing gets my attention on a new game announcement more than dressing your video game characters up in Halloween garb. It also helps if your title is an adventure game, a genre I like to think I champion at every turn. German developer Daedalic Entertainment has both these bases covered as they announce The Whispered World, an new adventure game for the PC, heading our way next year. Toss in phrases like “hand-painted backgrounds” and “lovingly crafter characters” and you’ve pretty much got my undivided attention. “The Whispered World is a project carried by a strong creative vision. The story about courage, sacrifice and the search for yourself is expressed with the help of unique visuals. We look forward to revealing more of the game’s fantastic world in the coming months”, added Creative Director Jan Mueller-Michaelis. And there you have it, a game announced in seasonably spooky fashion. Now we wait. More »
