Silence: The Whispered World 2 also has words for the PS4
Alongside its "early 2015" PC, Mac and Xbox One debut, publisher Daedalic Entertainment has announced that lovely, snowbound adventure Silence: The Whispered World 2 will be released on the PlayStation 4. A sequel to 2010's The Whispered World, Silence: The Whispered World 2 casts players as Noah, a 16-year-old boy attempting to find his younger sister in the ethereal world of Silence. The duo enter Silence in an effort to escape from a war in their world, but quickly find that the wondrous land of Silence is also embroiled in conflict (not to mention populated by nasty beasts and self-serving political factions). It's sort of a Chronicles of Narnia situation, only with fewer Christian allegories in the form of sage predatory felines. Though the original Whispered World featured 2D graphics, Silence: The Whispered World 2 employs 3D models and a method the developers call "camera projection" that "allows [the artists] to maintain the high detail level of our hand-drawn art, while still being able to use the benefits of 3D game design."

Silence: The Whispered World 2 arriving in late 2014 on PC and Mac
Silence: The Whispered World 2 will arrive in late 2014, Daedalic Entertainment announced today. The German developer will bring the sequel to its 2010 adventure game, The Whispered World, to both PC and Mac. As indicated by the title, players return to the dream-like world of Silence in the game, controlling a boy named Noah on his journey to find his younger sister Renie. Daedalic noted that some "familiar faces" will return in the sequel along with "a host of new features." The developer didn't mention any specifics, though the adventure game will likely adopt similar point-and-click mechanics as those used in the first game. Gametrailers has a debut video for Silence: The Whispered World 2, which sets up the game's dreary environments and wartime-like atmosphere.
