Sadness for Adults Only?

gothic horrorAre you at least 21 years old and don’t suffer from a heart condition?

That is the question that welcomes visitors to the Sadness page of the Nibris website. Intriguing was the first thought on our minds. Since we at the QJ offices are of legal age and have nerves of concrete, we entered.

Sadness by Polish dev Nibris is set in pre-WWI and would be completely in black-and-white. The category simply says “horror” and the release date was a vague “2007”. The info is currently limited, since Nibris has been mysteriously tight-lipped about this gothic horror title. This promises to pull players with its black claws into a Twilight Zone world of psychological horror.

Anyway, the question on Wii owners’ minds is “Will it be rated Adults Only?” Adults Only (AO) means that only people 21 years old and above can play the game. For those still in doubt, here’s a snippet from the Sadness page straight from Maria Lengyel’s head, one of the characters:

…In my head there is a voice, different from the others. Whenever it answers it overwhelms the remaining voices, it mixes up thoughts and destroys peace. It tells me that I’m only mixed up in a thought which yearns to prove its own existence. It is the original voice, which wants to free itself from my head, to free itself from the logic and reason it is being stifled by. It is the voice of chaos which is now screaming frightfully in my head for me to take an axe resting against the wall and cut off my father’s head…

Plus another warning from the site: Attention! Game only for adult players with strong nerves.
