The Whispered World: Deep Silver and Daedalic to Publish Adventure in 18 Countries


Quote:
Deep Silver, the games
label of Koch Media, a leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment products, and Daedalic Entertainment will publish the adventure game The Whispered World in 18 European territories.

German-speaking territories will see the PC game released in a lavish edition come end of May, with other territories, among them France, UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Scandinavian countries to follow later this year.

Quote:
The beautiful adventure game The Whispered World whisks the player away to a fascinating fantasy world. Sadwick is a young clown but often far from cheerful. One night, a strange blue creature speaks to him in a dream, and sends him on an adventurous journey. Many dangers await Sadwick, for the world he knows is doomed to crumble and fall.

In classic point & click tradition, gamers steer Sadwick and his
companion Spot through the game. Little Spot never leaves Sadwick’s side and is integral to solving many puzzles. He can take on many different forms throughout the game, which the player can pick and choose at will, once they have been learned.

Hand-painted backgrounds filled with animated details and lovingly crafted characters in the style of classic animated movies like „Spirited Away” bring the story to life. The Whispered World mixes fairy-tale elements with melancholic tones to create a tale of epic proportions.

Cathy, they are releasing in the UK later this year. I have to assume that means it is in English.

I'm wondering why I can't find a full list of those 18 countries. Would love to know if The Netherlands is among them. I can always import it from the UK ofcourse, but buying locally is always easier and cheaper.

Good to hear that they have managed to finish this promising, beautifully hand-drawn game. The production process was quite troubled and unusual - I remember playing a demo years ago when it was meant to be a simple adventure game for children.

This raises a question in my mind. Are there any American studios developing adventure games? It seems that is only the European studios developing the games.

Re: The Whispered World to Release in Europe - 06/24/09 11:18 PM

I believe the following are American studios with recent adventure releases (I'm sure there are more, 'cause I'm bound to miss some -- I'm not sure where everyone is located, actually):

Autumn Moon (A Vampyre Story)
Her Interactive (Nancy Drew)
Telltale Games (Sam & Max, etc.)
Wicked Cinder (Delaware St. John)
Wadjet Eye Games (Emerald City Confidential)
