Radio Silence Studios has launched the Kickstarter campaign for its point-and-click game The Adventures of Bryan Scott, with the German outfit setting a funding goal of A$39k (€24,500) to bring the game to the finish line.
A copy of the game will set you back A$32 (€20), while other tiers include a collector’s box (starting at A$96/€60), your portrait in the game (A$320/€200), and the chance to create a puzzle and to become a character in the game (A$799/€500). The campaign has listed an estimated delivery time of December 2025, and a demo is available if you want to try before you pledge.
If this is your first time hearing about The Adventures of Bryan Scott, the game is heavily inspired by the Broken Sword series and features Rolf Saxon (the iconic voice of George Stobbart) as Bryan Scott. The titular protagonist finds himself picking up where his famous archeologist father left off after receiving a random package in the mail and a visit from a strange man. He is tasked with tracking down missing treasure hunter Kate Willams (voiced by Broken Sword’s original Nicole Collard) who, as it turns out, has been searching for the lost treasure of Queen Sheba, the same treasure Scott’s father was searching for. But they’re not the only ones on the hunt for the treasure, with the secret society known as The Black Fist also looking for it, thus ensuring a dangerous and thrilling adventure begins.
I played through the game’s demo a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed what I played, and I see huge potential for The Adventures of Bryan Scott. I’m not the only one either, with Broken Sword creator Charles Cecil also impressed by what he has seen from the title.
“The Adventures of Bryan Scott is shaping up to be a fabulous game, full of intrigue and wit, with all the charm of a traditional point-and-click but beautifully displayed in high resolution, and an excellent musical score. Having the voice of the wonderful Rolf Saxon as Bryan, and even including a Broken Sword poster on the wall, charmed me even more. I am so excited to play the finished game!”
If you’re a fan of old-school point-and-click adventures, then this is a project you should check out.
