Daedalic releasing two ‘The Dark Eye’ games to console, with Chains of Satinav and Memoria
Excellent news for console gamers with an itch for classic point and clicks, as Daedalic Entertainment, one of the most reliable names when it comes to quality retro point and click adventures have announced that they are releasing two of their classic titles to all main consoles.
The two titles on their way are both from The Dark Eye series of games which take place in a fantasy universe – originally based on a Dungeons and Dragons style role playing game of the same name.
Chains of Satinav and Memoria are the two entries in this release, both following the story of Geron, a bird catcher:
In The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav players take on the role of bird catcher Geron, who is tasked with helping the king establish peace by catching suspicious crows that plague the notoriously superstitious and conflict-ridden kingdom of Andergast. However, not only does Geron’s task prove unexpectedly difficult, it also turns out to be the first step of the greatest adventure of his life – leading him to the borders of the charted lands of Aventuria and beyond.
In The Dark Eye: Memoria, players experience two thrilling stories in one. By traveling through different time periods, they follow the journey of Sadja, a southern princess who longs to be a war hero, and Geron, the main protagonist of The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, who wants to lift a curse from his girlfriend. The quest for answers soon leads to a chain of events that connects both Sadja’s and Geron’s stories, threatening to turn the present into a grim reflection of a long forgotten past.
You can watch the trailers for both of these titles below. The games are being released on Nintendo Switch, and Xbox and PlayStation consoles on 27th January.
