Gamescom 2017 report: upcoming adventure games

1

The website Adventure Gamers, in partnership with the German site Adventure Corner, has published the first part of a report of the upcoming adventure games shown at Gamescom 2017, held in Cologne a few weeks ago.

Among the games cited in the article, I’m looking forward to the comedy-horror game “The Season of the Warlock”, which impressed me in the past and that unfortunately didn’t reach its goal in a Kickstarter campaign. Here is the old Kickstarter video, when the game was still named “The Weird Story of Waldemar The Warlock”:

Other games cited in the report:

Tokyo Dark:

The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk:

Unforeseen Incidents:

Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story :

This one interests me a lot, it’s a sequel of the mobile game “A Normal Lost Phone”:

Call of Cthulhu :

(clearly inspired by the novels of Edgar Allan Poe)

Detective Gallo :

Orwell: Ignorance is Strength :

(it seems some kind of political game)

Jengo :

(old-school adventure game with a lot of references to the classics)

Unknown Fate :

(exploration + puzzle solving in a surreal 3D environment)

Inmates :

(exploration + puzzle solving + horror stuff)

My Memory of Us :

(more a puzzle platformer than an adventure game)

Forgotton Anne :

(more a platformer than an adventure game, but the story and the anime style are intriguing)

You can find more information about all games in the AdventureGamers article.

I still hope this is not gonna be a Resident Evil 7 clone. I´m not holding my hopes up, though.

You already got your yearly dose of Lovecraft games playing “The Darkside Detective”.

I like the style of My Memory of Us, the trailer was scary!

I’m not really a fan of anime style but Forgotton Anne looks also a lot like a Disney fairy tale, nice!

I loved the part where Dooley barely escaped from being devoured by the Shoggots, but then turned into a Deep One after he read from the book Of Eibon…
