Nibris released some new information about one of the most mysterious and awaited Nintendo Wii titles – Sadness. Due to the scale of the project Nibris invited some recognized development teams to cooperate. Frontline Studios will be responsible for programming – a team of 30 people with large experience in Nintendo platforms. Digital Amigos will take care for the visual side of the game; it is a company specialised in graphics of games (e.g. Painkiller) and movies. Many psychologists and creators of horrors were invited to the making of the game.
Once it is chosen, the publisher will inform about this fact on his website. So far, adds Nibris, all the names of alleged publishers which appear on the internet are nothing but rumours. For the time being, no screens or playable demos are going to be published. The publisher will decide about the time of visual presentation of the game.
Nibris also is not going to provide any closer information on the scenario: “Sadness is a novelty on the video games market. Both the story and the presentation of the game is going to be a surprise for a player. You must forgive us the fact that we present so scarce information about Sadness, but we hope that once you play it you will understand our circumspection. We do not wan to spoil the fun†– says Adam Artur Antolski, one of the scriptwriters.
Despite reluctance to reveal the plot Nibris gave examples of games which had come influence on concept design of Sadness. Eternal Darkness, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Planetscape: Torment, ICO, Phantasmagoria – these titles had some influence on the way of thinking about Sadness.
