Bingwood

There’s a cool looking new little game out called The Tales of Bingwood by the Bug Factory that’s about as point & click as you can get. It has the feeling of maybe an old King’s Quest game, but the coolness of having full voice acting! The game looks to be one of episodic proportions, so if you like it? Good! There will be another one on the way eventually!

The first chapter in the game is called “To Save a Princess”. The main character, Tom, is a fisherman and of course he gets thrown into a middle of a big hubbabaloo in which the Royal Princess is princess-napped by an Evil Wizard. Oh, and henchmen, of course. Tom, being the badass that he is, decides to take up the challenge of rescuing the Royal Princess, but needs the help of his fellow villagers to make sure his journey ends well.

The best part of this game? It has to be the adorable little characters. Just take a look at the cast:

Awww, aren’t they sweet? You know what this game would be awesome on? The Nintendo DS. But alas, there is only a PC version. The game has a free trial version that you can play if you don’t like to buy things. But if you DO like to buy things, never fear! The game is pretty cheap and will cost you €7.95, or about $10.20. Not bad!

I absolutely love when little companies make their own games. You get a lot of character and things you wouldn’t see in the big production games. Ahhh, that’s why I love adventure gaming!
