From the AG first look:

The Whispered World started out as graphic artist Marco Hüllen’s graduation project, before it was later taken up by Bad Brain Entertainment, the self-styled publisher/developer that in the end was never meant to be. When BBE went out of business, the game was discontinued and offered to the community to continue as (and only as) a freeware adventure. But that clearly didn’t work either, as the project seemed practically dead until a trailer [in German] showed up on YouTube in April 2007.

The big surprise came just before the Games Convention: Daedalic Entertainment had acquired the material related to The Whispered World from Bad Brain founder Wolfgang Kierdorf and wasted no time in hiring the originator Marco Hüllen as well. And so the former graduation project became Daedalic’s second in-house project.

Can't wait for this and A New Beginning, both look great.
