dtp entertainment released the first screenshots of their upcoming adventure game The Lost Chronicles of Zerzura.
AG: Multilayered story with historical basis; solid characterisation, especially of the smart and charismatic hero Feodor; streamlined gameplay offers ten-plus hours of inventory-based quests; outstanding production quality.
GamingLives writes "With the door creaking shut on the last title in the atmospheric Black Mirror trilogy, their developer, Cranberry Production have moved on to pastures new, this time shunning the rain shrouded English countryside and setting their sights on warmer climes. The Lost Chronicles of Zerzura, due for release in the coming months, is set in Spain – Barcelona, to be precise – and focuses on young inventor, Feodor Morales. While the gloomy, haunting locations of Black Mirror 2 and 3 conjured a rich atmosphere of dread, trepidation, and sadness, Zerzura isn’t resting on pleasant, sun-dappled laurels, with its story unfolding in a time languishing in the evil shadow of the Spanish Inquisition."
GamingLives takes a look at some of the puzzle and adventure games being released throughout 2012:
"With the vault door having been well and truly slammed shut on 2011, and time taken to survey the upcoming release landscape, it would appear that 2012 has an equal, if not greater bag of adventure pic ‘n’ mix to offer than last year. For those who still enjoying poking around the shelves of the oft maligned point and click adventure genre, this curiosity shop, with its frosted glass and seemingly quaint ways, making it an obsolescence to some and an irrelevance to others, would appear to have some interesting trinkets hiding away."
