![]() We're always happy to see more adventure games like Devil's Men.Daedalic’s final project breaks the adventure game streak, opting instead for traditional turn-based RPG gameplay. Unlike The Devil’s Men, Silence eschews an item inventory in favor of purely contextual puzzles, though you can still expect plenty of tear-jerking dialogue mixed in as well. A spiritual successor to the company’s previously released The Whispered World, Silence follows a young orphan boy named Noah (yes, the same kid who survived the last game) who must rescue his little sister from the whimsical but dangerous dreamland featured in the original game. The Devil’s Men won’t launch until around this time next year, but Daedalic’s other adventure title Silence is due out in roughly six months. In classic PC adventure game style, most of this gameplay focuses on navigating your cursor around a static area in search of items to interact with, though Daedalic promises it’s going to keep inane item-combining to a minimum in favor of more meaningful story-driven puzzle solving. That is some awesome art direction right there.In addition to these decisions (and the accompanying dialogue trees), there will also be the expected mix of puzzles built around item gathering, clue collecting, and code cracking. Whatever decision you make will bend the story in a new direction and dictate which gameplay section you experience next, turning the game into a giant push-and-pull balancing act. For example, while scouting a crime scene, Adelaide may find evidence that incriminates Emily, at which point you can decide to hide the information, share your discovery with Emily, or even expose her to the authorities. According the Daedalic, the game’s split perspective structure while inevitably lead you to favor one character over the other. ![]() Given that all the victims are vicious murders themselves, the game will no doubt question the relative morality of the killer.ĭaedalic's developers seem to have a flair for gorgeous art, as seen here in Devil's Men.You’ll alternately control two protagonists with occasionally conflicting interests: Adelaide, the daughter of a long-missing Sherlock Holmes-type who believes cracking this case might lead her to her father (and back into the comforts of upper class living), and Emily, a street kid with ties to the criminal underworld who’s basically forced to assist Adelaide. Though perhaps not as grimy as the back alleys of London, this town – which once hosted a world’s fair-esque exhibition – still serves as the killing ground for a serial killer who’s systematically picking off the members of a supposedly secret organization of villainous scientists (the aforementioned Devil’s Men). First off, adventure game The Devil’s Men, a steampunk murder mystery set in a foggy, fictional seaside town in nineteenth century Victorian Britain.
