Sadness was announced for Wii back in April 2006 but we've heard very little about this psychological horror game for nearly two years. Until now...
It's still in production and Nibris - the developer and publisher of Sadness - has told us a bit more about the game's engine which they say is "the most powerful engine available for Wii."
Sadness is the first Wii game to be presented in black & white which will no doubt add to the atmosphere of this crime-noir adventure set prior to the outbreak of World War I. For this unique, atmospheric adult-themed game, Nibris needed something special and Tomasz Wisniowski, Project Manager of Nibris, reckons he's found it with Gamebryo: "We will have quite a few graphical effects in our game, which some believe are impossible to attain on the Wii. Gamebryo helped make it possible. We are firmly convinced we made the right choice."

There are few games for Wii aimed at adults but Sadness, an adventure with eight different extreme endings, will be one of them. During the game, players will need to need to confront their greatest fears and protect themselves in hope of not getting trapped inside the main character's nightmare. You'll control your characters hands with the Remote and Nunchuk.
So, seeing as it's been in development for such a long time, should we expect something special from Sadness? Well, Geoffrey Selzer, CEO of Emergent (the producers of the Gamebryo engine) says the new horror game "is designed to push the bounds of Wii technically and creatively."
