Unofficial sequel to Broken Sword II

When Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror (PC) was published in 1997, some german fans of the Broken Sword game series got the idea of making an unofficial sequel. They named themselves mindFactory and it took them no less than 8 years to develop and finish the game. Their unofficial sequel was released for free on September 28th and is called Broken Sword 2.5 (downloadable at their site). The game is a classic 2D point-and-click adventure game, following the steps of the first two Broken Sword games. The game has german voices, but luckily comes with english subtitles. The story takes place between The Smoking mirror and before the next official game, Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, which was released in 2003.

Being interested in game development and game design I found it interesting to see what some “just some fans” could come up with. They have developed a complete game with great graphics (similar to the earliest Broken Sword games) and a great functional story. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy traditional point-and-click adventure games and don’t mind listening to german voices.
