The infectious commitment to life.



<span class="bold">Shardlight</span>, the post-apocalyptic adventure of a young woman desperately looking to cure herself, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

Amy was five when the bombs dropped. This broken, severely oppressed, and hopelessly depressed world is all she knows. Now, twenty years after the catastrophe, people are still dying in the streets stricken by poverty and disease, while the corrupt aristocrats control the regulation of the cure in exchange for cheap labor and obedience.

Amy is sick herself but she is not about to go out with a whimper. She'd rather rattle the shaky foundations of a government that has people like her slaving away for a chance at a vaccination. All around her, among the ruins of what humanity once was, people are scavenging for scraps of a better tomorrow that seems to keep moving further and further out of reach. But not Amy. She is determined to fight for her life, even if she has to pay the ultimate price.



Point'n'click at the bowels of a terminally ill world and find a cure to your ailment in <span class="bold">Shardlight</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. If you have the bonus fevers, go ahead and grab <span class="bold">Shardlight - Special Edition</span>, which includes the game's OST, voice-over outtakes, a concept art gallery, wallpapers, and other delicious goodies, or opt to <span class="bold">upgrade</span> later. The 10% launch discount will last until March 15, 4:59 PM GMT.
A new Wadjet Eye game is always great news! I completely trust them to deliver something that I'll like (so far I've enjoyed every single of their games that I've played), so I might even use the pre-order option.
Oh, looked like Wadget's touch. Not a fan of that genre but heard good things from those who do.
And, it's mine :)
Looks good, like the name too.
Saw the screenshots and instantly thought that this could be Wadjet Eye - and it was. Wishlisted for now. Since this is Wadjet Eye as usual you can try a demo of the game for free if you look here:

Looks aight.
At first I thought it was Shartlight.

Looks really nice, and while I trust Wadjet Eye to deliver, the only game I have any plans to preorder is Cyberpunk. I'm sure I'll grab this soon enough after release. As always, great to see it coming here.
I could not find anything on their web site but is this really developed by Wadjet Eye or are they just publishing the game (like many before)? I know that WE stands for quality but I always liked the ones they made themselves even a bit more.

As a point & click adventure fan, if you don't know Wadjet Eye by now, you're doing yourself a disservice. TellTale might have brought the "point & click" back, and I'm thankful for that, but Wadjet Eye is one of the few studios that actually keeps developing/co-developing/publishing point & click adventures that *feel* like point & click adventures.

I'm pre-ordering Shardlight, and I thank Wadjet (thank you, Dave!) for bringing it here to GOG, since a lot of us tend to prefer buying your games from here. You can't go wrong with a Wadjet game, great writing/themes, some of the best fleshed-out characters in video gaming, gorgeous pixel-art reminiscent of the point & clickers of yore, better voice acting than some AA or even AAA games out there... just... trust these guys and check some of their games.

Like I said, if you're even remotely into good point & click adventures, you can't go wrong with anything Wadjet Eye puts out. I know I won't regret this pre-order in the least.

From what I know, I think this is a game developed for Wadjet Eye with their support and involvement, but not written by Wadjet Eye founder Dave Gilbert like the Blackwell games. It seems to be written by Francisco Gonzalez (who also wrote A Golden Wake) and the pixel art is by Ben Chandler (who did the pixel art for Blackwell 4 & 5). There's a demo on Wadjet Eye's own website.

EDIT: Ok, ninja'd again. :) And it seems my info was partly wrong anyway. So Ben Chandler was involved in writing and puzzle design as well.

Isn't Nathaniel Chambers the guy who made the music for Primordia, too? Or am I mistaken?
