Adventure Productions, the most important Italian publisher of adventure games, and 10th Art Studio, an Italian indie developer, announced today that the first episode of Shadows on the Vatican, entitled 'Greed', is now available for purchase on Zodiac , the new multilingual games platform, for $ 7.49 (€ 5.80).

Quote:
Under the shadow of St. Peter, an American ex-priest investigates a series of events that exposes a deeper, more complex web of political and religious intrigue than he ever could have imagined.
Adventure Productions, the most important Italian publisher of adventure games, and 10th Art Studio, an Italian indie developer, proudly announce that the first act of Shadows on the Vatican, entitled 'Greed', is now available for purchase on Zodiac (www.zodiac-store.com), for $ 7.49.
Shadows on the Vatican is a thrilling new point-and-click adventure in 4 acts, inspired by real events in recent Italian history and freely adapted from the bestseller of David Yallop "In God's Name".


Act 1: Greed – Story
Visiting Rome from Chicago, where he works as a doctor, ex-priest James Murphy answers a mysterious call for help from his friend Cristoforo.
The disappearance of a briefcase containing compromising documents is enough to convince James that his friend is a victim of something shady and sinister. The Vatican's involvement and some strange parallels with his own traumatic past inspire James to get to the bottom of this mystery.
Along this dangerous and disturbing path, James finds the most unlikely travelling companion who will question his deepest beliefs. And so the two characters begin both a physical journey in search of the truth, and a metaphysical exploration of the inner soul and the darkest secrets that everyone hides, even a "champion of the faith" like James.
Rome is the stage for this adventure – a city bathed in eternal twilight, its skies tinted the color of blood spilled in more than thirty years of intrigue: blood of innocents and guilty, unknown and famous victims alike.

Act 1: Greed – Features
- Art direction by Lorenzo Ruggiero (Marvel/DC Comics)
- Over 10 locations per episode with high resolution graphics and full HD support (max resolution 1920x1080)
- Realistic characters with hours of motion-capture animations
- Well integrated puzzles and several hours of gameplay
- Animated coloured comics by award winner Daniela di Matteo
- Fully dubbed in English


For screenshots, artworks, a trailer and more details of the game have a look at the Official Website , a DEMO of the first episode is also available at Zodiac Store ( but you have to register and download and install the client, like Steam )

Thanks Carla,
Looks interesting but I'm a bit wary of downloading the "client". Has anyone here done that with Zodiac previously?

Zodiac is a new client, JoAj, but behind them there is the Adventure's Planet, which is one of the more important italian adventure games site. They are also publishing adventure games with their brand Adventure Productions, so I would say they are completely trustworthy thumbsup

Try doing a search on your computer for "vatican".

Open the downloader or the Zodiac program.
Click on "play". Connect or disconnect at will.
I can't find where the game is installed.
Maybe Zodiac is the new type of gaming where you play online. I have not checked that part yet.

No - not online gaming. smile Can be played offline.
The saved games are in Users-computer's name-saved game folder.

My Goodness, how long does this game take to download? Looks like well over two hours, that's crazy!! My machines a couple of years old but surely it shouldn't take that long.

Glad you are moving along now Richard, have fun.

Jo, it depends on how fast the servers are that you have to go through to download. It varies by time of day too.

My pc is about 3 yrs old and it took me about 15 min to download. I'm in the bank now. Like this game.

That's kind of you and I do have a problem, just emailed the Help at Zodiac. As I mentioned awhile ago, it's taking forever to download this game but the real problem isn't that so much as the fact that I keep getting a message on top of the download screen saying "download error 301". At the moment I'm considering just cancelling the download and trying again later and if that doesn't work maybe there's a fault with my computer, I could of course turn it back to a previous time but would rather not if I can help it.

If it says download error I would personally stop and start over. It may be a corrupted file when you are done.

Thanks but I did keep on letting it download - wish I hadn't though!! When it finished about 3 hours later there was a message saying that the download had failed.

Well, O.K., I thought, I'll turn off the computer etc. and try again later - which I did (try I mean). This time I couldn't find the game probably because I cannot log into the Zodiac icon, it shows up but when I login all I get is either "login failed" or just nothing happens at all. I've deleted Zodiac altogether 2 or 3 times and downloaded it again, but still it won't work. I have emailed their Support people but no reply as yet. - What a mess the whole thing has been!

Hi, it seems the servers work well, could have been a temporary problem. Let me know if now you are able to connect to Zodiac or see the website at all. Be sure, we'll manage to let you play!
