Capturas de The Whispered World

A principios de año, Ikael nos habló de uno de aquellos juegos que te dejan irremediablemente prendado. Se trataba de The Whispered World, una aventura gráfica de las de toda la vida —de tipo point’n’click, con inventario, acciones, conversaciones…— desarrollada por Daedelic Entertainment y con un aspecto visual tremendamente bello, en la que seguiremos las peripecias de Sadwick, un payaso melancólico, y su pequeño amigo Spot, «a través de un cuento de hadas moderno con personajes al estilo de las películas clásicas de animación para darle vida a la historia». Ahora Deep Silver ha publicado tres nuevas capturas del juego, y yo aprovecho para unirlas a las anteriores, que no llegamos a publicar en esta santa casa. La galería completa y muchos más detalles de The Whispered World en la nota de prensa, en inglés, tras el salto.

The Whispered World: New images and characters unveiled Hamburg/Munich, Germany: April 17th, 2009. Deep Silver and Daedalic are presenting brand-new images and new characters from “The Whispered World”. The fantasy adventure with its breathtaking imagery will be released later this year for PC. In the autumnal forest, the first station of their epic journey, Sadwick and Spot meet Bobby who is camped out by the shore of the big lake. Looking quite inconspicuous, he turns out to be one of the chosen messengers of the king on a mission of utmost importance. But this presumptuous traveler’s quest will soon go terribly awry… In the second chapter, Sadwick finds himself on a nocturnal island whose inhabitants all seem to have fallen into a lethargic stupor. Most of all Ruben, who claims to rule the island and jumps in panic at every loud noise. In his chambers, he is guarding an enormous treasure which he amassed through his now closed-down factory. His henchman Bando is very unhappy about this closure, because he loves nothing more than making loud noises, and is now forced into idleness. He is sitting in his hut, utterly depressed, and biding his time until he is finally allowed to work once more. 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. http://myspace.com/thewhisperedworld http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Whispered-World/48085457647 http://tww.daedalic.de
