The Whispered World
I couldn't help but notice that the leaves have recently fallen to the ground here in Sweden, marking a turn of the seasons. As I normally do, since I'm more happy about summer, I shrugged away from the window toward my computer and a bucket of coffee.
So, I was browsing through the forums and was redirected to the Lucasarts forums where you could download hi-res posters from different adventure games. Among these were a game I had never heard of before, so my curiosity brought me to this cosy site.
What I thought would be a quick glance in the gallery section left me staring in awe at my screen. Take a quick look for yourselves:
Just imagine that in full screen! And, according to the games info section from Adventure Gamers, the game will simulate a 3D-effect by moving parts of the screen at different speeds as you move along in the Autumn Forest.
So, this is a sort of anticipation thread for The Whispered World. The game is due this fall, and if that is true, maybe I will appreciate autumn a bit more!

Parallax scrolling has been around for 25 years, but yes, this game looks gorgeous. And it's been a long time coming.
I hope the remainder of the developent goes smoothly, that's for sure.
Ah, yes, parallax scrolling was what I was reaching for. Sure, we've seen it before, but it just seems to work really well here.
I just don't hope the release date is set too soon so it will be another disappointment before we get to play the game.
Sounds nice! I'm curious, how was the puzzling and the supposedly original fantasy setting? I can't play the demo for some time now, so please tell me more..!
