The Dark Eye has already had a few video game adaptations. Drakensang and its successor, for example. And in 2022 a visual novel called Wolves on the Westwind from DSA publisher Ulisses’ in-house game studio. They have now unveiled another game set in Aventuria: The Black Cat – A Furry Tale. It is based on the DSA spinoff The Black Cat, a standalone role-playing game in which you play intelligent cats instead of elves, dwarves and humans. In A Furry Tale you experience what happens at night in the port city of Havena when its other residents are sleeping. You switch between two whiskered protagonists with different abilities. Graphically, it looks quite simple in the first trailer (although much more complex than the studio’s last game), and you shouldn’t expect highly complex game mechanics either – the main thing here is to explore the unusual setting and experience a story. The game will be released at an unknown date, but you can already try out a free demo on Steam.
