  -Fixed an issue regarding a certain train conductor and a hatch (To avoid breaking saves, this issue cannot be fixed in a savestate prior to this patch, the game will not stalemate from this issue, but it's just weird seeing the train conductor reappear.

Fixed a bug where looking at the severed arm at the entrance to the Quarantine Zone messed up Amy's character portrait. Fixed a bug where having the me…

• Shardlight review - 10 March 2016

  NEED TO KNOW What is it? A post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure. Expect to pay 11/$15 Developer Wadjet Eye Games Publisher In-house Reviewed on GeForce GTX 970, Intel i7-950, 16GB RAM Multiplayer None Link Publisher website In the ruins of a world ravaged by nuclear war, people afflicted with a disease called Green Lung take on menial, often dangerous jobs to earn a lottery ticket that may win them a dose of life-saving vaccine. Shardlight hero Amy Wellard has the disease, and we join her as she begins one of these lottery jobs. A generator has stopped working and Amy has to climb into a dark, filthy sewer and reactivate it. The de facto rulers of this post-apocalyptic world, the Aristocrats, hire people like her to do their dirty work in exchange for the vaccine that they, conveniently, control. While the downtrodden masses live in filthy squalor among the debris of civilisation,…

• Wot I Think: Shardlight - 8 March 2016

  The latest adventure from top producers Wadjet Eye, Shardlight , is out today. When I played the first half or so earlier this year I was pretty taken with what was on offer. Does the post-apocalyptic tale of oligarchies, underground rebellions and deadly plagues manage to maintain momentum? Here’s wot I think: …

• Wadjet Eye s Shardlight Now Has A Demo - 2 March 2016

  Shardlight , the next point-and-click venture from Wadjet Eye Games, is closing in on its March 8 release date. It’s now got a demo, which means you can poke your head into a world ravaged by war and extreme class divisions ahead of the curve. It sounds pretty grim, but it looks pretty lovely. …

• Wadjet Eye s Shardlight Coming March 8th - 17 February 2016

  Our John called Shardlight “an absorbing puzzle adventure, which is a phrase all too rarely uttered even in these days of the genre’s clumsy resurgence” when he played an early version . That’s a very John form of praise, isn’t it? But encouraging! Soon we’ll get to see for ourselves, as developers Wadjet Eye Games have announced they’ll release Shardlight on March 8th. …

• Wadjet Eye's new adventure Shardlight will be out in March - 16 February 2016

  Shardlight, the upcoming post-apoc point-and-clicker that was announced last fall , will be out on March 8. Developer Wadjet Eye Games revealed the date today, along with a new trailer confirming that, 20 years after the world was shattered by war, it's still a miserable place. The wealthy are doing alright, but the teeming masses face a day-to-day struggle for survival amid squalor and disease. Wadjet Eye specializes in this kind of retro-flavored adventure, as a developer and a publisher, and it has a well-earned reputation for putting out good stuff: Gemini Rue , Primordia (which I liked a lot more than our reviewer), Resonance, A Golden Wake , and most recently, Technobabylon . So even though the Shardlight world isn't necessarily the most original thing ever, my hopes for it are fairly high. And original or not, I do dig the setting. I don't know what it is about blasted, post-war…
