After Daedalic Entertainment officially introduced the main protagonists of Silence, the siblings Noah and Renie, now it's time to have a closer look at the small, secret hero of the upcoming adventure game: Spot, the faithful caterpillar.
Behind the cute veneer lies more than the eye can see. This is why Spot is not only the constant companion of Noah and Renie, but also a Swiss Army Knife for all the puzzles they have to solve on their way through the world of Silence. When they need him he can fly, split himself up, or drink and spit liquids. On top of that, he can become a bridge to reach remote places or a crowbar to clear the way of heavy rocks. Here's a complete list of all his abilities:
- Big Spot: One of the main talents Spot has is to suck in everything within reach of his mouth. If this is air, the little caterpillar gets inflated and takes the shape of a ball. This can have multiple purposes, such as making him bounce like a basketball, throwing him around, and using him as a safety cushion for long falls. Big Spot is so light that he can fly around like a hot-air balloon.
- 5er Spot: They say "the more the merrier", and Spot can divide himself into smaller versions of himself. This can be useful for sneaking through cracks, but is also a handy trick to use against Lumis, evil creatures who live underground.
- Flat Spot: When Spot isn't carrying anything in his belly, he is able to deflate himself and become really small. This allows him to reach areas that are not accessible to Renie and Noah, but it also makes him strong enough to carry people and build bridges to inaccessible areas.
- Fire Spot: Spot is hot! At least when comes in contact with fire to become a living torch. Flaming Spot can be used to set items on fire and bring light to the shadows of Silence.
- Dragon Spot: Spot is not only capable of sucking in air; he can also carry dangerous liquids like lava, then use it to clear foliage or use it to fix broken objects like stone statues.
- Water Spot: Spot is also a perfect tool for all gardening work. If Spot is filled with water, he can be used as a watering can. Pouring water over plants or mushrooms makes them, changing th environment.
- Honey Spot: Little Spot also has a sweet tooth, and he loves to be fed honey. As soon as he is stuffed with the tasty nectar, he can hum in a soothing way and calm a whole colony of Honey Ticks.
- Helium Spot: Helium is the stuff that makes voices high and squeeky, but also the kind of noble gas that makes Spot weightless. This doesn't only allow him to fly around; it also makes him invisible to everyone who crosses his path.
- Acid Spot: Last but not least, Spot is capable of transporting acids. What does this do? Players will have to find out for themselves.
Silence is the story of Noah, who is about to lose his little sister Renie to the perils of war. He barely manages to follow her into the world Silence. But even there, war ravages the land. In search for his sister Noah joins a group of rebels who are figting the false Queen.
Featuring completely original 3D graphics, players will find Silence to be an innovative game. Noah’s and Renie's quest will lead them on a visually impressive and emotionally captivating adventure, with many mysteries to unravel around the world of Silence.
Daedalic Entertainment has scheduled Silence, the sequel to The Whispered World, for the second half of 2015 for PC, Mac, PlayStation4, and Xbox One.
