Loath Nolder Preview

Proving once again that adventure gamers inhabit every nook and cranny of the globe, is a new project from Turkish development team Aedon Games. Fear not, though Aedon Games (named after Aedon the wife of king Zethus of Thebes and mother of Itylus) is located in Turkey, this interesting looking game will be in English so as to reach as wide an audience as possible.

Loath Nolder: Labores Solis is a pre-rendered, 3D first-person horror adventure. Loath Nolder is the name of the detective, sort of a Turkish Tex Murphy if you will. Labores Solis means solar eclipse and is the name of the game.

Loath Nolder is tentatively planned to be the first in a series of games. Loath is a private detective who investigates supernatural events. In his first adventure, he has been hired by Jonathan Field to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his brother Clark, a rich businessman heavy into the worlds of mysticism and occultism.

Labores Solis promises a heavy dose of Lovecraftian mythology and the Necronomicon. The graphics look to have been influenced by Jonathan Boakes’ Darkfall.

We will have more on this game as it nears completion. There is a playable demo currently in development and JA will offer it for download once it is available. In the meantime, take a moment to visit their website for game updates and even a few music samples from the game. For now, we have these few screenshots to whet your appetite and prepare you for things that go bump in the night.
