Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey

Mechanics

In Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey we observe the action from the third-person perspective. The game consists mainly of exploring faithfully recreated fragments of 19th-century London (location designs were consulted with experts dealing with the discussed historical epoch), conversations with characters (mainly various residents of Whitechapel), interacting with the game world, collecting items and solving various kinds of puzzles. The main goal is to get to know the whole plot.

During the game, we control three different heroes. Each of them has its own character, problems, and characteristic approach to the world. The threads of the protagonists intertwine and influence each other. What is important, the story is non-linear in nature - it is shaped by our choices, so the story experienced by one player may differ significantly from the one that will be experience by another player.

It is worth noting, that in the game from Salix Games we can visit realistically recreated places of crime - various details have been developed based on the testimonies of witnesses and documents from the real investigation conducted by the London police in the case of Jack the Ripper.

Game modes

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey can only be played solo. The mainstay of the game is a multi-threaded story campaign.

Technical aspects

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey features attractive three-dimensional visuals. The game is not big on realism - instead, the devs decided to use an exaggerated, slightly comic book-like style, which complements the dark subject of their title. The atmosphere of the game is also complemented by an atmospheric soundtrack and excellent voice acting - we will hear actors known from Black Mirror (Alexandra Roach), Penny Dreadful (Perdita Weeks), as well as hit RPG Dragon Age (Gareth David-Lloyd).

It is worth noting, that due to its subject the game from Salix Games team is suitable only for adult players.
