Deck13, the developers of the Ankh series and Jack Keane, is pleased to announce the fully localized English release (no patches needed) is September 17th.

Check out the game here.


Quote:
Best played with the lights turned off and the volume turned up, Black Sails is a creepy and mysterious point-and-click adventure game.

A shipwreck. Having lost all hope, two survivors cling to wreckage, trying to survive a few more minutes in the raging sea. Until another ship appears. Hoping for rescue, they are calling out, but nobody answers. They manage to go on board. Will this be their rescue? Or their grave?

Inspired by a true story, the player experiences a journey into the darkest abyss of the human soul until he cannot tell between truth and fiction anymore.

Having been released in Germany a few years ago, gathering much acclaim for its focused story and strong plot, Black Sails is now available with full English localization for the first time ever. We hope you'll enjoy it.

Features
Full English speech and text
Dense atmosphere
A mysterious sailing ship to explore freely
Focused on the fate of two main characters, Anna and Lex
Disturbing dream sequences
Decisions affect the characters' relationship and the game's outcome
Classic point-and-click controls
Hint functionality (but not too many!)
Creepy soundtrack


Happy Gaming!

Is it Steam-only or will it be released elsewhere?

That's the only link provided by Deck13 Jenny. Perhaps more will be added after release. There was a version you could download elsewhere previously that required an English patch but not sure if it's still available.

Thanks for that info, BrownEyedTigre smile

I played the "previous version with patch" a good while ago and have kept it installed on my machine in case of a desire to re-play laugh

I would definitely recommend the game. It's a very nice traditional Adventure happydance

Thanks so much Ana. Even though I played this game (boxed version), using the English Patch, I'l buy the NEW version, and enjoy it even more.

Thanks, Ana. Looks great! It's a good price, so I bought the Steam version and went ahead and voted for it on GOG's community wishlist. Yet another game I'm going to have to catch up on. grin

This will be a buy for me also. I have a few Steam games I have yet to play. Steam can be a little frustrating but I have finally learned how to obtain those annoying codes they throw at you.

Thanks from me, too, Jenny100 thumbsup

I've bought it !!
I'm presuming this download from Fireflower will be fully patched think

[I already have the boxed German version which, as well as the "translate to English" patch, also required a German "update" patch.]

People are saying the game is good but short. How short is this game?

How long a game takes to play can vary from person to person, but flotsam's GameBoomers review said this:

Quote:
It isn’t terribly long, but some of the puzzling did keep me scratching my head. I reckon I spent about 6 hours, which would have been longer without a peek or two at a walkthrough.

It took ME longer than six hours but, as Marian says, the time taken to get through a game will obviously vary from person to person smile
