Exclusive: Lost Wii Game, Sadness, To Be Revived as Wii U Exclusive

[DLC]

HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games are collaborating on development

Like any console generation, the Wii era had its share of development sagas — projects that were confirmed, teased, ignored and eventually faded to cancellation. Keen Nintendo fans of the early Wii era may, then, remember the trials and tribulations of Sadness. It was the work of Polish developer Nibris and excited gamers through its concept alone.
Pegged as an exclusive for Nintendo's console, it was to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in innovative ways to control the character's hands. It captured attention, also, for a promised black and white aesthetic and visuals — utilising the Gamebryo game development platform from Emergent Technologies — along with a horror approach to storytelling. Set before World War One, the limited pitch information stated that players would have to face their fears while avoiding the nightmares of the lead character, with eight endings promised. A black and white psychological horror game utilising the Wii controllers? It's little surprise that fans were keen.

I was intrigued just because of the title. If the tone is more melancholic than anxiety provoking, I might enjoy it. Hopefully it'll arrive one day.

Oh wow, I've never heard of this game. Where was I, anyway? Lol. But this game. It looks very interesting and different in a good way. Love to see it coming out alive on Wii U.

Looks interesting. I like the setting/timeframe (turn of the century, 20th).

 

[Dehnus]

Creepy, could be fun .

I could see it being more melancholy that anxious. As I said earlier, I like the timeframe, the turn of the 20th Century. A confluence of two worlds, the young "technological" and the "old" world, churning together can create sadness in spades.
