Plot
Set in a mysterious utopian city that has been abandoned, the player takes on the role of an anonymous urban photographer who becomes trapped at the center of a battle between good and evil at the time of Ragnarök.
Development
Baron Wittard is the premiere title of Wax Lyrical Games,[1] created by the two-person team consisting of Marlies Maalderink (in the Netherlands) and me Alan Thorn in the UK.[2] Video game writer and designer Thorn 's design philosophy was to create an "enchanting and enthralling" opportunity for players to explore the ancient ruins of a rich history.[3] Commencing in December 2010, the developers published a developer diary for their upcoming game. It was hosted on Just Adventure, while German and Dutch translations were listed at Adventure-Treff.de and Adventure-Island.nl respectively.[4] On February 18, 2011, the game was made available in retail stores in the UK, Scandinavian and Benelux territories.[5]
Reception
Adventure Gamers thought the game's lackluster gameplay was counteracted by its haunting atmosphere.[6] Just Adventure praised it as intelligent, challenging, and atmospheric.[7] Gry Online praised the game's symphonic soundtrack.[8] GameZone.de thought the graphics came across as a bit old-fashioned for the time.[9]
Die Hard Game Fan listed the title as one of the "Ten Indie Games to Look For in 2011".[10]
