A brand new calendar 12 months means video games which appeared impossibly far-off at the moment are actually fairly shut. Here comes Lamplight City, the subsequent journey sport from the creator of A Golden Wake and Shardlight, flexing and doing a little warm-up advertising and marketing stretches with a brand new trailer forward of its launch in a number of months. After tripping via the roaring ’30s then our dystopian future, Francisco Gonzalez is off to the steampunk-y 19th century in Lamplight City, the place we’ll play as a non-public investigator fixing instances whereas trying to find his former companion’s assassin. I do like fixing crimes and it feels like this can provide a good bit of freedom in how we strategy them. Here, watch:
Crimes! There are 5 of them to resolve, every with a number of suspects, false leads, and a number of potential outcomes. Marketing blurb guarantees that we’ll get a level of freedom in how we deal with the instances and suspects, which sounds promising. I definitely welcome extra resolve ’em ups journey video games which give us area to make errors and take a look at totally different approaches.
Lamplight City is due later this 12 months, a while from April to the top of June. Its Steam page is already up, in case you try this wishlisting factor.
Though Gonzalez made Shardlight as a part of Wadjet Eye Games, the journey video games studio which additionally printed his A Golden Wake and was as soon as going to publish this too, they’ve since parted methods. Gonzalez explained last year that “a series of unfortunate circumstances meant I wasn’t affordable anymore, and so I had to be let go.” So he’s making this underneath his personal Grundislav Games, and Application Systems Heidelberg will publish it.
While our resident clickhead John wasn’t too fond of A Golden Wake, he did like a lot about Shardlight. Fingers crossed the development continues with Lamplight City.
