What is everyone thinking of this project?

The game just got a fresh site and first episode is coming in October.




I like somewhat "minimalistic" cartoon style and a "movie" feeling to it. Authors don't hide they're inspired by Tim Burton movies, in particular Corpse Bride. Also, it should be interesting to see a mix of spooky atmosphere and comedy. I'm also excited to hear that some of the people who worked on The Whispered World are involved in this one.

There's also a trailer movie, but i gotta admit it's one of the worst trailer-narrator voices i've heard in a long time.

Looks interesting but it's hard to get a sense of what the game is about.

Looks cool. love the art direction... very Tim Burtonish.
The characters need a little work though... not a fan.

Yeah, characters need a little variety, maybe they're better in motion.

based on the story from the website:

Our saga begins in London in 1923 when the young student Jack Ice receives a mysterious telegraph in which he is invited to an opening of will at the old Grace Castle.

Thing is: Jack did not even know the deceased Lord Averton… However, Jack sets out – although slightly irritated - to Little Grace, a small village on the east coast of Cornwall. After he and the other heirs have arrived at the castle it becomes more and more a scary certainty that the old Lord was murdered. And even worse: the murderer now targets all the heirs…

Shortly after the arrival of the heirs a violent thunderstorm breaks and the castle gets cut off from the outside world by a landslide, Jack has no choice but to get to the bottom of things. If he and the others want to survive this night, he will have to reveal the mystery about Grace Castle and also a big mystery about his own past…

it looks like And Then There Were None/Lucas Arts comedy style mix.

"The mountain labored…"

It seems the reviewer is mainly underwhelmed by poor puzzles.

Hi diego,

sorry to disappoint you, but other than the Visionaire development team - they are involved indirectly because both games share the same engine - none of the staff of The Whispered World (i.e. Daedalic Entertainment) is involved in this project.

Cheers,
Io

there are more negative points. lame story, inconsistencies, many technical flaws, an abrupt ending, although a coherent ending for each episode was promised, etc.
