A sequel to 2010's The Whispered World, Silence: The Whispered World 2 casts players as Noah, a 16-year-old boy attempting to find his younger sister in the ethereal world of Silence. The duo enter Silence in an effort to escape from a war in their world, but quickly find that the wondrous land of Silence is also embroiled in conflict (not to mention populated by nasty beasts and self-serving political factions). It's sort of a Chronicles of Narnia situation, only with fewer Christian allegories in the form of sage predatory felines.

Though the original Whispered World featured 2D graphics, Silence: The Whispered World 2 employs 3D models and a method the developers call "camera projection" that "allows [the artists] to maintain the high detail level of our hand-drawn art, while still being able to use the benefits of 3D game design."

Fans of the first game will be pleased to hear that several Blackguards from that adventure will return in the sequel, though Daedalic warns that things have been going poorly for the original cast. Since the events of Blackguards, the dwarf Naurim, for instance, has grown fat and lazy following his success as a gladiator while the wizard Zurbaran was found by his former captors and sold into slavery. Though these characters have fallen from glory, Blackguards 2 protagonist Cassia seeks them out in the hopes that the once-heroic figures can aid in her goal of assuming the Shark Throne.

Daedalic offers scant information on gameplay changes, but claims that Blackguards 2 enhances the turn-based tactical roleplaying elements of its predecessor with numerous fan-requested changes, like improved line of sight and combat cover mechanics. At launch, Blackguards 2 will be available from all major online retailers, though eager fans can currently pre-order the sequel for $30.

Gamescom kicks off again this week in Cologne for what is sure to be an even bigger, sardine-packed public weekend. For these few days, it feels like Germany is the place to be for video game developers - and then the show leaves, exhibitors return home, and German studios large and small face the realities of operating in a country still in game development puberty.

Germany's video game industry is finding its footing economically and socially, and there's a quiet undercurrent of discontent among developers. Things are getting better - states in Germany offer a handful of programs for studios to find funding, though these trail behind the support seen in countries such as France, Finland, Sweden, Canada, the UK or the Netherlands.

"The German government is clearly not doing enough to support our industry," says Timo Ullmann, CEO of Dead Island 2 developer, Yager. "But our local governments - Berlin, Bavaria, Hamburg - are much further ahead of things and have identified our industry as an important partner. However, there is always room for improvement. There are simply not enough projects being run in Germany to support a greater number of studios and developers. And that is what we would need in order to have a more flourishing scene. Eventually we will get there over time, but I am unsure how to fix it."

Why? Because Randal of Randal's Monday will be voiced by Randal of Clerks, actor Jeff Anderson.

"When we first started to design this story in that filthy old garage, we could never have imagined that he would end up being the voice of our Randal," lead producer Enric Costa said in a related press release. "Nobody else in the world could ever interpret Randal better than he does. It's like the icing on the cake for this huge project." According to the press release, Anderson will also help develop the game's script.

Randal's Monday is a game that pays homage to nerd culture in more ways than its choice of voice actor; Daedalic and Nexus are populating the game with references and homages a plenty. The game's announcement trailer, for example, combines The Twilight Zone with Freaks and Geeks within the first ten seconds.

We'd close this article with a reference and a link to a clip from Clerks or Clerks 2, but let's keep things family-friendly, yeah?

While the basic point and click gameplay of the computer game will remain intact in the PlayStation 3 incarnation of Deponia, this new version of the game gives players direct control over protagonist Rufus as he becomes embroiled in a wacky case of mistaken identity. Daedalic describes Deponia as a "fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual love stories in gaming history" while citing Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett as inspirations for the game's offbeat humor.

So far there's no word on when exactly Deponia might reach Sony's console, nor any official price point for the game. Steam currently lists the PC version of the game at $20, though there's no guarantee its PS3 counterpart will follow the same pricing scheme.

It's due out for PC on March 11 for $20 on Steam and GOG, published by adventure game veteran Daedalic Entertainment and developed by Irresponsible Games.

The game includes two playable characters, Joe and Christine, husband and wife - Joe is behind bars and Christine can help him escape, but she doesn't have to. 1954: Alcatraz incorporates beatnik culture, jazz, high-stakes crime and loads of cash, all in a 3D, comic book art style. Player decisions "extensively influence the plot and lead to various endings," Irresponsible promises.

Irresponsible was founded by Gene Mocsy, the designer and artist of Quake 3's engine levels, course artist for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 and 2005, and the world modeler for James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing, among other feats.

When someone wakes up with a hangover, you'd expect them to hydrate, take aspirin or rest up to get through the day, right? We don't consider selling a friend's engagement ring par for the Regretting Booze course, but apparently Randal does. In Randal's Monday, this choice results in his friend Matt killing himself, leaving Randal cursed to live through the same Monday until he finds a way to fix his mistake.

Randal's Monday is a point-and-click adventure game from Daedalic Games and Nexus Game Studios, layered with geek and pop culture references from the past two decades. More than 50 characters will cross paths with Randal in his quest for decency, which is scheduled for a digital release on PCs in Q3 of 2014.

Blackguards is a recently released strategy roleplaying game from Daedalic Entertainment that features an obscene level of character detail, as evidenced by this look at the game's skill trees.

Functionally, assigning skills in Blackguards is pretty simple. You earn experience which gives you points that can then be assigned to various categories including weapon talents, magical aptitudes or miscellaneous abilities. That's all typical of the genre, but where Blackguards differentiates itself is in its breadth of available skills. As you can see in the above footage, the skills menu found in Blackguards is simply massive.

What's more, the game doesn't confine players to pre-determined upgrade paths. Each character is able to learn any skill, so if you'd prefer your burly warrior to toss fireballs instead of swinging an axe that's entirely up to you and your available pool of Adventure Points.

For more information on Blackguards, pay a visit to either Steam or the game's official website. If you like what you see, know that both the standard and deluxe editions of Blackguards are currently available from Steam at a ten percent discount.

Described as "a turn-based RPG with strategic combat," Blackguards initially sounds like a typical high-fantasy roleplaying game, with one big twist: Instead of teaming with noble warriors of virtue on a holy quest to slay the minions of evil, you play as a convicted murder who joins forces with other criminals. According to Daedalic, "their good deeds are neither acts of kindness nor heroism, but according to their roguish nature rather a result of their attempts to save their own hides."

Visit Steam or GOG and you'll find Blackguards available for purchase in both PC and Mac iterations. Steam is currently offering two versions of Blackguards - a Standard Edition at $36 and a Deluxe Edition at $54 - while GOG solely features the Blackguards: Special Edition for $43.40. Each version of the game includes its own bonus materials, so read the descriptions carefully before you check out. Alternately, if you've already purchased the game's Early Access incarnation on Steam, you'll soon see your game update itself to its final, retail version.

Whether you prefer Windows or OS X, you can now enter the high-fantasy world of Blackguards via Steam's Early Access service.

For $35, you'll receive beta access, a 150-page art book, the game's soundtrack, a digital world map, video interviews with the developers at Daedalic Entertainment and six wallpapers for your computer. Spend $50 and earn everything in that last package, plus free access to the game's first DLC release, a gratis copy of The Dark Eye - Chains of Satinav, and your name will be added to the Blackguards' credit roll.

In addition to bringing Blackguards to the Mac, Daedalic Entertainment has also released a new trailer for the game, which can be seen above.

As indicated by the title, players return to the dream-like world of Silence in the game, controlling a boy named Noah on his journey to find his younger sister Renie. Daedalic noted that some "familiar faces" will return in the sequel along with "a host of new features." The developer didn't mention any specifics, though the adventure game will likely adopt similar point-and-click mechanics as those used in the first game.

Daedalic Entertainment once told us its fantasy adventure game, The Night of the Rabbit, was a mix of Alice in Wonderland and Doctor Who - a combination that seemed almost too good to be true. Turns out it's entirely true, and the game is now available on Steam for $20, for both PC and Mac.

The Night of the Rabbit throws the main character, Jerry, into a world between worlds, populated by talking animals and dark forces, with overarching magical and scientific twists. Daedalic is behind the Edna and Harvey adventure series and the comedy-adventure franchise, Deponia.
