A New Beginning

A New Beginning is a classic, multi-award-winning point-and-click adventure that stands out from similar games thanks to its gripping, profound and challenging storyline. The story centres on the son of a scientist working on a project to generate clean forms of energy. A visitor from the future informs him of an impending climate catastrophe that will inevitably lead to the extinction of humanity – so time is of the essence. A New Beginning maintains the suspense from start to finish, features consistently logical and accessible puzzles, and delights with carefully recorded dialogue and atmospheric music. (…) Without being preachy, players are confronted with the major challenges of the future regarding energy and are thoroughly entertained: a game that’s fun yet raises awareness. Following on from Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and The Whispered World, the young Hamburg-based publisher Daedalic once again demonstrates its flair for grippingly told adventure games with A New Beginning.
