Two more games are seeing shadowdrops as part of today’s Indie World Showcase – specifically Enjoy the Diner and Passpartout 2.
Enjoy the Diner, a mysterious narrative adventure with point-and-click elements, was previously announced. Passpartout 2 was known as well and has actually been out in Japan since October, but it seems that the western release is happening now.
Here’s some information about both games:
Enjoy the Diner
Enjoy the Diner follows a multiple-choice format with point-and-click elements and is a relatively short adventure game. It typically takes two to 2.5 hours to complete (according to Waku Waku Games research). There are two different endings, and you will likely know when the story diverges. Be sure to save your progress before you make your fateful decision.
Key Features
- Ported to a Different Engine – This game has been ported from Godot to Unity, meaning it’s been completely remade. Along with the shift to the new engine, you can now use a game controller in addition to a computer mouse. Enjoy the game in full-screen mode too.
- Conversations Added – New chit-chats with the other Moon Palace customers have been added.
- New Game Completion Perks Added: Complete the game with a certain ending and you’ll be treated to a Sound Gallery and an Illustration Gallery. Why not revisit the drama that unfolded during your time at the Moon Palace?
- In the Illustration Gallery, you’ll find character descriptions not found in the main game courtesy of creator Gekkan Shicchitai (Oississui). Plus, you’ll find the sounds used in the game sold separately as a downloadable soundtrack. Be sure to check it out if you liked what you heard.
Passpartout 2
Embark on your struggling artist adventure. Draw and sell art to cheeky critics to reclaim your lost art career. Explore the endearing art-starved town of Phenix and show them you’re a true artist!
Draw and sell art on the go using your handy foldable easel. Explore the endearing puppet town, get to know the residents and what makes them tick. Help them out with commissions, like drawing a new ad for Steve’s restaurant! Or why not buy a studio so you can work from home, just like the good old days?
Use your hard-earned cash to treat yourself in the art supplies store. Maybe one of the many new tools will tickle your fancy? The crayon they just got in stock looks pretty sweet! Or perhaps that heart-shaped canvas? You as an artist needs every edge you can get to stand out! The residents of Phenix may also carry some cool items they could give you, if you help them out of course.
Revive your art career and take on the challenge of the Museum of the Masters in the art-starved town of Phenix! You are Passpartout, once a renowned artist whose glory was lost after a mysterious disappearance. But now, with your landlord putting you on the street, it’s time to pick up your brush and show the world your true talent.
Key Features
- Easy point-and-click gameplay, for a chill time exploring and interacting with the world.
- Literally drawing your own art, unlocking fancier tools along the way.
- Selling your art on the street, or in your studio.
- Doing commissions for the townsfolk of Phenix!
