Introducing Waldemar The Warlock (yes, another KS project)

[enComplot]

Hi AGS Community,

We're writing to present you a new adventure game by enComplot, our recently founded little studio: is a humorous and horrific point and click adventure game, titled "The Weird Story of Waldemar, the Warlock": The player gets to step into the shoes of Lord Alistair Ainswoth, a victorian british aristocrat who spends his time sticking his long nose into anything with a whiff of the paranormal or occult.

Accompanied by his loyal butler Nigel, he leaves London behind and relocates to the remote region of Groldavia in order to start an in situ research of a legendary necromancer who ruled the realm centuries ago. With the work he intends to publish on the subject , he hopes to finally achieve the fame and recognition that has always been denied him, has always been just beyond his grasp.

Therefore he pours all of his energy and resolve into this book, but on his quest to unravel the mystery of the infamous warlock he will have to face down challenges much more sinister and formidable than the fear of the blank page…

The game features detailed illustrations as backgrounds and stunning 3d characters, both elements blended in such a way that the result is a harmonious whole with a rich and artistic imagery and a compelling atmosphere. Atmosphere reigns supreme in The Weird Story of Waldemar, the Warlock, as its characters, dialogues and situations are heavily inspired by the charm of 60's horror films and the charisma of actors such as Vincent Price.

We're trying to put a lot of care in what we believe it's most important: a creative game design based on lateral thinking and variety. We're also writing plenty of descriptions for the in-game interaction, so that every object and combination has it own unique response from the game. And we made it so that there's two ways of silving the game, with two completely different paths, featuring different puzzles and situations.

You can download a brief demo (English voices and subtitles in german, spanish and english) from here. We've launched it for our Kickstarter's campaign, which is live here. There you can find more details and information about the game. Also, we are in Steam Greenlight.


Thanks in advance for your attention, folks. If you have any inquiries please ask. We're open to any suggestions.
