There is even more good news for adventure game fans, as the second part of Wax Lyrical Games’ developer diary, which focuses on the puzzles in Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok, will be published in various languages somewhere during the day. Please make sure to visit Justadventure.com (English), Adventure-treff.de (German), Asparageek.net (French) and Adventure-island.nl (Dutch) to read up on Baron Wittard’s development process.

The eccentric architect Baron Wittard has built something really special: a city inside a building. This monumental pleasure dome, called 'The Utopia', features 1000 apartments, a shopping mall, and hundreds of offices and leisure facilities. All under one roof. Its grand opening was supposed to have been two years ago. That event never happened. A chain of mysterious events has now left the Utopia abandoned and silent. People have gone missing. Electromagnetic disturbances are increasing. These happenings all point to Wittard's desolate Utopia. Armed with only a camera and a torch, you must journey there alone to explore its winding corridors, its secret passageways, and its gloomy halls. Local townspeople say Wittard kept a terrible secret. They speak fearfully of someone or something malevolent lurking at his city. They say it is waiting and growing in power. They say time is running out...

Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok is planned for a pan-European release on February 18th 2011. It is already available for pre ordering in the Iceberg Webshop (Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok - Iceberg-Shop.com) with free shipping up until the day of release.
