For anyone interested, there is a demo out for Silence, the sequel to The Whispered World -

I played it yesterday, and it's really good so far. It's also one of the most beautiful games I've seen. There is only one part that frustrated me, where Noah had to balance on a globe. (Hopefully I'm not spoiling anything here, but it's just one small section, and I found it very frustrating.) If anyone has any problems, I recommend keeping the cursor as centered as possible while moving the mouse back and forth. I realized later that my problem was I kept moving the mouse too far with each swing, as the directions state you need to lean in the opposite direction Noah is swaying. You'll know you're doing it right when the circle starts to fill up with a solid blue line.

Other than this one small annoyance, the game looks really promising so far. I can't wait for the full version on Tuesday.

Thanks, venus.

Thank you for the link to the Demo, Venus. I just downloaded it from GOG, and I'm looking forward to playing it, and then purchasing the full version.

You're welcome, Ana.

You're welcome, Sandy. Hope you enjoy the demo!

Thank you, venus, for the link to the GOG demo. I will check it out.

Venus and Marian,
I played the Demo to the end, and without a walkthrough, for a change. LOL
Sandy

Good for you, Sandy.

You're welcome, Marian. Hope you enjoy it.

Great job, Sandy. Did you have any trouble with the globe balancing section, or did you get it right away?

Hi Venus,
Yes, I DID have a problem with that "balancing act", but after five or six tries, I finally was able to keep my cursor in the center of the bar and then moved on from there.
Sandy

Glad you got it in the end. It was difficult for me as well. It's the only part I'm not looking forward to replaying. (I assume the demo saves won't transfer to the full game, though I'd be happy to be wrong. )
