The next few months should prove to be an exciting time for fans of Artifex Mundi games, as the developer recently announced plans to release six... count them... six new titles... in the next three months.
Artifex states "We're preparing for a serious gaming offensive. We've focused on sequels to our well-known titles, like Enigmatis and Nightmares from the Deep, creating them with the motto 'more and better' in mind."
In addition to the two sequels, Artifex is releasing four new games that they hope will be as popular with gamers as their recent franchises.
Here's a first look at the new games we can expect to see soon from Artifex Mundi!
Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink
Artifex is touting this game as the "First Polish steampunk adventure game."
In Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink, mysterious earthquakes are destroying city after city. Dr. Ambrose Ink, a world-famous researcher and inventor, discovers that they might be artificial in nature. His research takes him to the mountain town of Hochwald. It is there that the scientist disappears under mysterious circumstances…
Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood
Sequel to the popular Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek, Artifex calls it a "complex detective story with horror undertones, full of sudden plot twists and surprising conclusions."
While pursuing a demonic preacher, the protagonist stumbles upon the mysterious Ravenwood Park, a forested area that holds many dark secrets.
Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren’s Call
Sequel to one of the best hidden object adventure games of 2012, Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart, this game builds off the first one, but features a new storyline.
The curator of the Caribbean Museum believes her pirating days are over—until she receives a mysterious package containing a strange artifact. Possession of the artifact sets off an extraordinary pirate adventure that will take her to a forsaken fishing village, a haunted ship cemetery, and creepy caverns filled with dark secrets and dangerous traps.
