Daedelic Entertainment wishes the gaming world a happy holidays with this lovely new wallpaper featuring characters from their upcoming PC adventure game The Whispered World.

Daedelic Entertainment is no stranger to spreading the holiday spirit, having initially introduced The Whispered World to the gaming public in the form of last year's Halloween greetings card. Now they're back with a Christmas-themed wallpaper featuring main character Sadwick dressed up in traditional holiday garb. Even his pet worm Spot is getting in on the act, and there is nothing more festive than a worm in a Santa hat. Trust me on this.

Hit up their website for the full-sized wallpaper.

Daedalic Entertainment At GC 2008 - The Whispered World DS

The great thing about the annual Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, is that you get to see work from publishers and developers who wouldn't generally make it to gaming events is Japan or the states. Take German developer Daedalic Entertainment, for instance. I've been following their fantasy adventure game The Whispered World since they teased it back in October. Now I'll actually get a chance to check it out, along with point & click adventure A New Beginning for the DS, PC, and Wii.

They'll also be debuting a DS port of The Whispered World, along with Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, plus a couple unannounced projects to keep things fresh. There used to be an entire hall dedicated to games like these at the old E3. I guess we've got to go to Germany for them now. Definitely looking forward to it!

Daedalic Entertainment's upcoming fantasy adventure game The Whispered World has just launched the official website for the title, due out for the PC in Q4 2008, and I've never been more relaxed in my life. The site features wallpapers, screenshots, concept art, a story synopsis, and some confusing forums that seem to be completely in German until you click on them. All of this, along with the most relaxing background music that's ever graced a flash website. Seriously, I've had this opened in the background all morning and couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was having such a pleasant Friday morning. Hit up the link below to check out the site, and be sure to check out the press section for a tiny preview of the article I wrote on the game back in February.

First announced back on Halloween of last year with a whimsical greetings card, German developer Daedalic Entertainment is finally ready to show us exactly what their upcoming point-and-click PC adventure game The Whispered World is made of. The game follows the young clown Sadwick, searching for meaning in his life with his pet worm Spot. the story promises to mesh fairy-tale whimsy with melancholic undertones to create an epic fantasy story, and nothing says epic fantasy adventure like gorgeous, hand-painted backgrounds. The only problem I have with the screenshots so far? There are only three of them. More please.

On this most spooky of spooky days, nothing gets my attention on a new game announcement more than dressing your video game characters up in Halloween garb. It also helps if your title is an adventure game, a genre I like to think I champion at every turn. German developer Daedalic Entertainment has both these bases covered as they announce The Whispered World, an new adventure game for the PC, heading our way next year. Toss in phrases like "hand-painted backgrounds" and "lovingly crafter characters" and you've pretty much got my undivided attention.

"The Whispered World is a project carried by a strong creative vision. The story about courage, sacrifice and the search for yourself is expressed with the help of unique visuals. We look forward to revealing more of the game's fantastic world in the coming months", added Creative Director Jan Mueller-Michaelis.

And there you have it, a game announced in seasonably spooky fashion. Now we wait.
