Dtp Entertainment announced today the cinematic point & click adventure Memento Mori 2!The game will be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in Q4 2011 ( but I'm confident that an English version will be announced soon). Lara and Max – the dual protagonists from part one – are on their honeymoon in South Africa when Lara receives a phone call from her boss at Interpol. He asks Lara for her assistance in the case of an art theft from a museum in Cape Town. While the police have already put the break-in on file, Lara and Max attempt to pick up the thief’s trail. In the course of a frantic chase, Max and the thief get caught up in a terrible car crash. The thief’s body is salvaged from the bottom of the steep coastal cliff and Max is declared missing, presumed dead.
Totally devastated, Lara returns to Interpol headquarters in Lyon. In her next case she then keeps finding clues that suggest to her that Max is still alive…
The developer Centauri Production has developed its own new dedicated 3D engine for Memento Mori 2. This makes it possible to realistically and atmospherically light the locations and also to portray the characters’ detailed and finely crafted facial expressions. Atmosphere is guaranteed. Cinematic linking sequences round off the movie quality setting of this classic point & click adventure.
With three playable characters over the course of the plot, Memento Mori 2 takes the player to more than 50 locations. In eight story chapters the journey leads from Cape Town in South Africa via Lyon and Finland all the way to Chinatown in San Francisco. Previous knowledge of the first game is not required.
Take a look at the first screenshots and artworks.You can read our Becky's review of Memento Mori HERE.

Yikes! Those screenshots look awfully yellowish/yellow-greenish. The developer Centauri Production has developed its own new dedicated 3D engine for Memento Mori 2. This makes it possible to realistically and atmospherically light the locations and also to portray the characters’ detailed and finely crafted facial expressions. The first one was 2.5D. If this one is 100% 3D, I suspect the system requirements will be much higher than the first. The character models look very nice though.

" The first one was 2.5D. If this one is 100% 3D, I suspect the system requirements will be much higher than the first. The character models look very nice though."  Is it panic time, then ??

Not quite. Wait and see. These screenshots may all be from cut scenes. And we don't know whether it will be a keyboard-controlled or point-and-click or other type of mouse-controlled yet. I'm kind of disappointed because I liked the point-and-click in the first game and the lighting in this one seems overly harsh.

Hence to the writer/ developer....If it isn't broke?
Why fix it...?? I see this with too many games.. Even games hubby plays "First person Shooters" They all try to make it better...When in fact they ruin the game for the player....

I thought the first Memento Mori was also in 3D?

I enjoyed the first Memento Mori, and I'm looking forward to MM2. The game looks very promising. I don't think it will be 100% 3D. If you look at Carla's post, you will see this at the top: "Dtp Entertainment announced today the cinematic point & click adventure Memento Mori 2!"

I don't think it will be 100% 3D. Well I hope not. 2.5D seems to work a lot better for 3rd person point-and-click adventures. It's possible some of the the 3D-ness has to do with the lighting, the way it did in Myst IV.
