HYPER is now also sponsoring the development of retro adventure game Troll Song
The full game will be a commercial release with five "Verses", the first of which has recently been released as freeware to help advertise the game.
StoryTroll Song aims to tell the story of trolls as a people, a culture, a society. The trolls are under threat of extermination, but although they're big and strong, these trolls are no mindless brutes - they are a simple but honourable people with their own sense of morality and honour; a people who have feelings, who develop friendships; even a people who make music. Well, a sort of music...
For the four trolls who manage to survive the attempted trollicide, it's not simply a matter of staying alive, or even a matter of revenge - for you see, to find out what their future can be, they first have to learn about their history - the very origin of their race.
You play as Clod, one of the trolls who manages to escape. Using your trollish abilities, you must also help your remaining friends to escape. Before your journey continues you will find an unlikely ally, and along your path of discovery, you will find out that Clod is not just an ordinary troll... he has a destiny.
Troll Song is a point and click adventure designed to be unique while still reminding players of those old classic LucasArts games that we used to love (and in fact still do).
