Riddle of the Sphinx: Awakening Update

If you are a Kickstarter backer, you should have received the announcement, if not here is the update.

Check out scene video one and two.



Happy Gaming!

Thanks Ana.

Thanks, Ana.

Thanks, Ana!

Thanks, BrownEyedTigre

I AM a backer but haven't received this update

Thanks Ana!

I get confused with this effort...is this the re-make of the original or the new game entirely?

Greyfuss, it is an HD remake of the original with extra scenes.

You can read what they are doing here.

Ana

Thanks Sheriff

Maybe I am just have my common senior moments but wasn't there talk of a whole new game too or am I confusing this with another game?

It was always a remake that I know of, I announced it here.
Ana

thought that i had played the orginal riddle of the sphinks but here it was the omega stone so this is all new and exciting to me well worth it glad i had backed it .

It must be me then...now I am battling to remember what the little men in my head are saying to me. Could what I am thinking about being a new game or sequel for Morpheus??? Does that ring someone else bell?

There is a Morpheus Remake in the works but not a new one.
There is a new Schizm coming. Could that be it?

It wasn't Schizm, something older...wonder if it was the 11th Hour.....ACK....the voices in my head....make them Stop!!!

Are you thinking of The 13th Doll?
That was/is a fan game, not a remake or anything to do with the original developers of 7th Guest or 11th Hour.

It's also completed and available for purchase, though I had tech issues with it and it wouldn't get me past a black screen at the start of the game. I think it didn't like Windows 7 and wanted 10, despite that the requirements listed Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 as all being compatible. It wanted me to install some mystery meat software for Win7 compatibility so I couldn't just install the game and go. Apparently the software worked for some people's Windows 7 computers, but it didn't for mine.

You can find links for the Morpheus remake (not really a remake so much as some HD graphics) at Gameboomers' "Upcoming Adventure Games Release" webpage

I agree that there are too many "remakes" and similar out and it is confusing what is actually "new" (or at least unplayed) or not. There was another Kickstarter for a Riddle of the Sphinx "remake," and I donated to that one only to have it cancelled or something. I tend to like the original games from the 1990's rather than the "remakes." The original games work better and controls are more logical. And I like everything you need for the game to be in the game box. It's so much easier to have a paper manual than to have to click around all over looking for a manual on the computer. That's one advantage of Nintendo DS games like Professor Layton series -- they're about as close as you can get to how games were sold in the 1990's, with the game cartridge included in a little snap case with a paper manual. The puzzles are not super hard and are fun. The biggest problem is the small, grainy low resolution screen on the DS.

Thank you Jenny

It may have been the 13th Doll, I am not sure. The Poisoned Pawn (remake of Overseer) is one I am anxiously waiting for.

Thanks, Ana!

made it to steam and its all ready to go got a e e mail from to confirm my address so excited to start this wonderful adventer through the prymids. Dianne

We will officially announce the release when it is available to the public on Feb 1st. I got an email on it last week.
Enjoy when you get it!

Have fun Dianne!

Looking forward to the announcement Ana!

Thanks, BrownEyedTigre.
I paid "extra" for this project and am very much looking forward to my copy

Excellent! Great news this remake is almost ready for prime time. I tried to get the original one to play several years back on my Win7 PC but ran into too many technical problems

I'm anxiously awaiting my crate of goodies too.

Thanks for this...I placed in order for the $35.00 package.

I used to own this game and if I remember correctly, it was first person and made me terribly dizzy. Am I remembering correctly? Will this be first person or third person?

Maybe you're thinking of Riddle of the Sphinx 2: The Omega Stone. The first Riddle of the Sphinx was snapshot style. It was The Omega Stone that spun you around.

I need to get this game wish-listed at GOG as right at the Kickstarter beginnings for it, I pledged a very goodly amount for the DRM Free version - but apparently, although GOG has not turned it down, they haven't yet agreed to take it on, either. So for now it will only be released via Steam.

But I've forgotten how to get a game on their Wish List

[When I go to my account and select wish-list, I am just told my wish-list is empty !!]

Maybe under "community" at the top of your screen. There is then a tab for "community wishlist".

The game is releasing in a few hours. Please use the new thread here.

Ana

Can I please just thank oldbroad - in case you close this thread ??

oldbroad !!

You're welcome Mad and good luck!

See you in the new Announcement Thread!
