The Other Side of the Wall

31.12.2027
This is the story of Julian Reed, a 13-year old boy attending Saint Maximus the Confessor Catholic School in the early 1980s. Saint Maximus is an all-boys boarding school that shares a wall with another institution for "troubled cases" called Cedar Tree House. Cedar Tree House is shrouded in mystery, as discussing it is frowned upon by the Benedictine monks who make up most of the teaching staff at Julian's school. There is no contact between the two institutions, at least not as far as the students are concerned. It's late August, the semester has not even started, and only a few students and faculty members are present when Julian discovers a tiny hole in an isolated corner of the wall separating Saint Maximus from Cedar Tree House. The hole is just big enough for him to see a pair of blue eyes. They belong to a girl who soon becomes his closest confidante. The opportunity to spend time with a girl, albeit separated by a wall, is a welcome distraction from Julian's routine, but it will not be the only one. One boring morning, during class, he notices that one of his classmates is missing from his usual desk. When Julian asks about him, he is shocked to discover that nobody acknowledges that the student ever existed. The Other Side of the Wall is more than a whodunit game. It's a coming-of-age story of a boy who stumbles upon a mystery and finds himself in over his head. A story about friendship, curiosity, and the unsettling feeling that something is terribly wrong. The Other Side of the Wall is a traditional 3rd person point & click adventure game. This is a game for people who enjoy being challenged with (mostly inventory based) puzzles and being rewarded for paying close attention to subtle clues.

Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of the Templars is a fan made sequel to continue the storyline after the first two games in the Broken Sword adventure series, and ties up the events leading up to the third game. Like the first two games, a 2d view is used with point-and-click gameplay instead of the full 3d from the later games. Familiar locations all over the world are mixed with new settings and characters. George, Nico and André all return, but new ones such as Christophe Brai and English historian Jimmy McLaugh also play an important role. Movement is done with the mouse, while the cursor changes automatically to an available action when hovering over a hotspot. Items are stored in an inventory and dialogues trees are shown as icons representing items or characters. Players will control George and Nico intermittently throughout the story. It is also possible to die in the game. Although it is a tribute to the original series, the production values are high with entirely new environments, characters, rendered cut-scenes, sounds and a storyline that match the original games. Some people involved with the original game have contributed and there is full German (with a few of the voices of the original games) and English voice acting.
