Daedalic Entertainment continues to focus on the adventure genre and, in the coming year, fans of the company will be able to get access to a new title called The Devil's Men and to the sequel Silence: The Whispered World 2.

The Devil's Men is the most interesting title that the company is showing at E3 2014. It is a steampunk-themed, Victorian adventure title based on the story of two female characters, Adelaide and Emily, who have conflicting interests and views of the world.

They are both investigating the mysterious murders of the men from the game's title, who use science to reach evil goals, and the game is based on their need to cooperate, while also trying to keep secrets from one another.

The Devil's Men uses a pretty unique art style, with 3D environments and 2D hand drawn characters, and the world is both beautiful and a little grim.

The developer is also saying that the puzzle design will be mostly classical, but that player choices will be more important to the story than in other titles in the same genre.

Silence: The Whispered World 2 will allow gamers to control both Noah and his sister Renie as they return to a world supposedly destroyed and need to work with a rebel force in order to take down an evil queen.

The company says that it plans to use classic adventure game mechanics for the new title, while upgrading both the design of the puzzles and the user interface in order to make it easy for gamers to see how they can progress and find solutions to the challenges that the game throws their way.

The very shape of the cursor is designed to serve as a hint system and Daedalic says that player choices will be more important than ever in the story and to the way the ending of the game is constructed.

The company also announces that it is working on a sequel to the tactical role-playing game Blackguards, which is designed to expand the core Dark Eye universe and to refine the mechanics of the title.

Daedalic says that it will have a female main character called Cassia and that it plans to introduce a range of new companions for her to choose from as she embarks on a new adventure that straggles the line between good and evil.

Blackguards 2 is supposed to have deeper combat, more enemy types and new strategic map with more consequences associated with gamer actions.
