#Deponia multiple endings series

While most point-and-click adventure games feature 3D characters in 2D worlds, The Devil’s Men flips the table on this time-honored tradition. It’s a fantastic setting made all the more beautiful by Daedalic’s trademark hand-drawn style, although this time there’s a difference. The level took place in the abandoned Great Exhibition building, akin to the historical exhibition that was built in London in 1851. The small section of gameplay we saw highlighted that the diverging paths aren’t just narrative tools, they also apply to the gameplay. The game won’t do the whole ‘multiple endings’ thing, but there’ll be multiple routes towards that end point. It’s the first time Daedalic has properly dabbled with branching storylines, and for a studio typically associated with excellent storytelling that’s an exciting prospect.

He added that The Devil’s Men will be “a mix between traditional point-and-click adventure puzzling and what TellTale does with the diverging paths.” “A steampunk crime mystery point-and-click adventure with branching storylines”, that’s how Mentz described the game when we spoke with him and got to see the game in action at gamescom. In fact, it’s being penned by Kevin Mentz who wrote the former and the first (best) part of the latter. The Devil’s Men is Daedalic Entertainment’s newest point-and-click adventure along the vein of Memoria and the Deponia series. They become tangled in a plot that leads them to the Devil’s Men - a mysterious collection of scientists whose experiments dabble in the world of the spirit and occult.Īs far as narrative introductions go, that’s not half bad. The two women, who are in many ways opposites, are forced together by the mystery and adventure of the investigation. Meanwhile, Emily, the right-hand woman of a notorious gang lord and a dangerous murderer in her own right, also picks up the trail laid down by Adelaide’s father.
