The Shiver - april fool, f00

New from Wadjet Eye Games!

Keelut is an honest Eskimo with a problem. Someone has been poisoning the waters, and destroying the peaceful whaling community where he lives. Step into his showshoes as you lead him across the Aleut coast to find the one responsible, and discover a shocking secret.

For more details, check out the Wadjet Eye Website!

Nice idea! Judging from the screenshot, it would have sections that acts like the desert in KQ5 right?

Awesome!! Holding onto the penguin's wing reminds me of ICO, where the hero had to hold the princess' hand

Will the penguin ~~be a huge hindrance like the princess~~ need help to cross crevasses?

I think I saw the movie version, Steven Seagal was in it. Someone is going to get roundhouse-kicked!

I really like the sound of this game, kind of like Eco Quest with a polar theme.

Is this the game developed for Playfirst? What happened to that Indian god project, didn't they think it was casual enough?

I'm planning on making a slide-puzzle type minigame where Chippy is stuck on an ice floe and you have to guide him to safety. Save Chippy!

Looks great! I'm gonna have to wear a sweater when I play it!

Sounds a bit like you're starting to run out of ideas for names, Dave... unless of course it all ties in with a certain Rabbi...

BTW, love the screenie, it's gorgeous!

Buckethead · Tue 01/04/2008 09:05:23

Hmmm quite a pretty screen. But only one...? I wonder...

NRasool · Tue 01/04/2008 10:33:12

Mmm it has been posted today, looks funny, must be an April Fool Joke I think ;-)

If it isn't, sorry Dave

Dave doesn't do April Fools jokes. It's against his strict Judiasm.

Looks great Dave, yet again, no doubt another masterpiece.

I hope you get to control the penguin at some point in the game, so cute!!

Maybe if they're lost, these guys can help.

Brilliant!

This is seriously one of the better game ideas ive seen so far!
Looks amazing!

My favorite is Shiva (without the H) though. You know, Kali's hubby

I agree, I wonder what the next installment will be called. Maybe "The Shiv", and the hero would be that pointy, sexy makeshift knife trying to prove its innocence in a case of foul play

But let's not talk about the future, I want to play this game! A penguin as a sidekick is just awesome!

LimpingFish · Tue 01/04/2008 21:41:08

Hooray for penguins! Awesome screenie, Dave.

Ties in quite nicely with this.

Ponch · Wed 02/04/2008 02:45:16

Oh, please God, let the penguin be a playable character!

Looks good, Dave. I'm sure it'll be another winner!

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Wed 02/04/2008 09:01:24

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure we did. :

CosmoQueen · Wed 02/04/2008 09:07:46

Oh please! There's some people here who did. They can deny it all they want but it's true! :p

SSH · Wed 02/04/2008 10:39:11

I knew it wasn't true, but I WISHED it was!
