We Need More of These!
Having managed to catch this title in its complete state with all Chapters and Books available as of now, I've got to say that this experience was welcome in quite the unexpected. Putting it simply, what exactly would you be getting into with this game? The experience essentially boils down to an interactive book (or visual novel really) that tasks you with choices and (extremely light) gameplay elements to hold your attention at key moments. Obviously, these kinds of initiatives aren't necessarily new as Japan has been at the forefront of visual novels for years. What impressed me with this besides the awesome source material that this game is based on, was the technology or engine behind this game. Daedalic's Visionaire Studio tool set is quite the marvel to behold for this genre. The atmosphere of the game especially within the audio department including full Surround sound support is masterfully built. As is the Art Direction and voice acting that really sells you on the experience on offer. Clearly, from my experience this title comes through as a labor of love. The devs simply went through with adapting a great story based on the prolific writer Ken Follet's books and came out the other side with a great piece of work. Honestly more book series like this should be considered for self-publishing by Daedalic. If this team can be given something like the entire "Wheel of Time" series to adapt then we fans of narrative driven experiences may be in for quite the treat.
Hilft dir das weiter?
