Sarawak LivestreamI'll be livestreaming my upcoming Narrative Adventure Game - Sarawak - on Saturday as part of the Steam Autumn Festival. I'd love to show you all how it works and answer any questions you may have about it.
Sarawak is a literary mystery game set in Oxford and Borneo.
Sarawak will appeal to players who enjoy the cosy pleasures of sinking into an old-fashioned mystery novel as well as the thrill of a classic puzzler game.
Best described as a text-based narrative adventure, gameplay is split between interactive narrative choices and image-based puzzles. Sarawak's beautiful and interactive illustrations set it apart from similar games of the genre, and players will need to open locks and doors, discover secret rooms, hack into police equipment, pore through newspaper archives, and light up a jungle research station to progress the game. Sarawak will appeal to players who enjoyed the likes of 80 Days, A Case of Distrust, LucasArts adventure games or Agatha Christie novels.
The premise is that a university professor is found dead outside the protagonist's hotel, and the police arrest her holiday companion for the murder. The professor left a trail of secrets, which the player must solve to continue with the story. The more the player unravels, the more conflicted they will become as they start to question who is lying and who is telling the truth.
[ 2020-10-10 17:18:47 CET ] [ Original post ] Sarawak is a literary mystery game set in Oxford and Borneo.
A university professor is found dead on the steps outside your hotel. The police arrest someone very close to you for his murder. The dead professor has left behind him a web of secrets that you alone can unravel.
Sarawak is a narrative adventure game that takes you from the dreaming spires of Oxford to the jungles of Borneo as you make interactive choices and solve puzzles in a story that blurs the boundaries between narrative games and conventional literature.
