Hey guys,

Just a little note to let you all know about a game we are developing, a traditional point and click adventure set in London, that gains inspiration from Sierra games such as the Gabriel Knight series, and other titles such as Broken Sword. Hopefully will be ready in a few months, work has been going full steam ahead since April. We know it won’t be the greatest game of all time, but we hope it will be enjoyable for traditional adventure fans.

You can check out progress on our website at mudlarksgame.co.uk

Thanks everyone
Shaun

About Mudlarks:

“A mysterious point and click adventure game… a tale of friendship, the supernatural and unravelled secrets”

Your name is Winston. You are very much a regular, normal chap - living in London with your girlfriend and holding down a 9 to 5 office job. Among your various hobbies, you are a mudlarker. That is, the practice of combing the shore of the River Thames for historically interesting objects that may have gone underwater hundreds of years ago. One day, you and your co-mudlarker Vincent stumble upon what appears to be a valuable golden locket - and your destiny is changed forever. Two days after the find, Vincent disappears on the shore, leaving only the locket behind…

What follows is an atmospheric dialog and puzzle driven adventure game, bringing together elements of science fiction with a strong supernatural theme as you undertake your quest to find your friend and unravel many secrets along the way. Winston finds himself as an ordinary man in a very extraordinary situation…

Features:

- Over 40 locations to explore
- A mysterious and complex plot set in modern day London
- A cast of over 40 intriguing characters
- A full length adventure game experience - hours of gameplay
- Thousands of lines of dialog
- Moments of spookiness
- Over 60 inventory items
- Virtual mudlarking - yes, that is a thing now!

Thank you for the info and (especially) for the free download, shaunaitcheson.
I wish you good luck in your future projects.

I don’t play adventure games too often, but the story of Mudlarks sounds interesting enough to give it a try one of these days.

Thanks, I have just begun downloading it, and is looking forward to playing it.

When I will actually find time for with all the great games being released right now, is of course a different mater. But it will happen sooner or later!

Thanks for the nice comments guys, let me know how you get on

I’ll definitely try to squeeze this in somewhere.

Seems very ambitious, I’ll give it a shot.

Thank you kindly for the game.

Gave it a go. Got Stuck immediately (First Room).

Sure I’ll persevere a while longer

Yes, I got stuck there for a while. The key is well hidden.
Currently stuck on the foreshore of the Thames. I know what I need to do but haven’t found what I need yet - not that I’ve put a great deal of time into this game so far.

did you check your inventory after talking to several people in different parts of the foreshore? I found what was eluding me there—to my surprise.

Yes, I eventually found the round stone and been out and about in London. I’m going to bloody well kill that pianist!
But how do you bring up the hotspots?
