The new owners are the old founders. I’m curious what they’re going to do with it now. I want to hope for a few classic adventures, but I don’t dare.

Well… Interesting. Funny thought, remember when the company was first sold and we were assured nothing would change? Oh well. Hoping for the best (and a couple more magical adventures).

I just bought a game published by them. Dead Synchronicity. It’s pretty good, got some great reviews.

Yeah it is good. It needs a sequel though, and AFAIK they are presently working on a sequel without daedalic.

Oh good, I hear the ending is kinda abrupt so a 2nd game could help out with that.

Okay, so I’ve not played a ton of Daedalic games, but can you give me an example of a game the old founders made?

versus a game that is made under the other owners?

I really like Chains of satinav.  and when I eventually beat it, I’m looking forward to the ‘sequel?’

And deponia seems fun, but I didn’t get very far.

But then I played “Randal’s monday” game and I was really disappointed.

I tried to play state of mind, but my pc just won’t run it (well it starts, but the lag and skipping is unplayable.  I clearly don’t have a powerful enough pc).  It seems kind of weird because my PC is not great, but it’s a not a busy game, and it’s very ‘stylized’ so I thought that it would be easier to run than games trying to be more photorealistic.  Maybe it is optimization issues, or maybe the engine is really demanding?

Is it not considered a good thing that the old founders own their company again?  I don’t know a lot about the context for this story.

You played all their bad games. If I played Randal’s Monday I would have given up on them instantly, so I applaud you for persisting.

Best ones are Whispered World, Edna & Harvey, Night of the Rabbit.

Randal’s Monday was not developed by daedalic, they published it. (Personally I really liked it, but I understand it’s… Not for everybody) Pretty much when people talk about not-current daedalic games, it’s games that are in the style of point and click adventures. As of this moment they don’t really make that type of adventure any more. (All of the deponias are great IMO)

Pretty sure they are about to be sold again… lol…

Ouch… !!!!

Universally panned Tolkien game. Eek… That’s going to be an interesting reputation to reverse…

I do wish them success but my god - this is a sad mess.

I think Chain of Satinaf or something and Memoria were from them too. I loved those games and was always expecting a sequel.

They really should’ve stick to what they were doing the best — making traditional adventure games. A sequel to Memoria would be great. Although they lost their creative force long time ago. Kevin Mentz is now working on some boring-looking indie life sim, Closer the Distance, Simone Kesterton is a freelance artist, Jan Müller-Michaelis just disappeared in an unknown direction, probably writing music for kids. This is all pretty sad.

I do wonder if gollum really is a decent game, ill have to find out with sales. But i did play it a couple months ago at a con, and its no surprise its not reviewing well. It was very buggy and hard to play. :
