I realize that none of WadjetEye’s developers are very rich and keeping development so cheap is how they get to churn out classic adventure titles, but I’m not asking for much - just a higher resolution and some better walking animations would do! The little I’ve seen of Shardlight is bleak and beautiful with some cool designs, particularly the French Aristocrat look the Aristocracy boast, so it’s a shame it’s being wasted on such a low resolution game. The only bad thing I can say about Shardlight is the same problem that WadjetEye (and indeed Telltale Games) have been sticking to for a while now, and I give them stick for every game: their stubborn reliance on an aging and utterly outdated engine. I’m already looking forward to seeing the rest of Shardlight’s brain-melters.

Grab your calligraphy textbooks and join us the divine sounds of pointing, clicking, and adventuring fill the air. I only got a taste of the puzzles but I was happily impressed, with the exception of the aforementioned chalk puzzle that had me tearing my hair out. Main character Amy is desperately searching for a cure and knows one is out there, but faces obstacles in her way - not least the disease that’s slowly killing her. The poor live in fear, superstition, and squalor until they die. Well, not quite, but in Shardlight there is only a vaccine for the fatal disease Green Lung, not a cure. The rich receive regular doses of vaccinations in exchange for their unconditional government support. Secondly, the populace isn’t already dead in Fallout. First, Fallout isn’t a 2D sprite-based adventure game. ![]() Yes, I realise it’s very Fallout, but there are key differences. Examine the letter to Danton and youll see a calligraphy letter M in the wax seal. ![]() This is a medieval society built on the ashes and memories of modern day, and it’s hugely compelling as a result. There is literally a puzzle near the beginning of Shardlight (that I got unbelievably stuck on incidentally) where the goal is to get a piece of chalk. Simple things like medicine, housing, and even such basics like chalk are hard to get hold of. The internet, movies and television are but memories.
