Salix are a London / Guildford based indie developer comprising of ex-AAA devs from the likes of Lionhead, Rocksteady and Ubisoft.
DANCE OF DEATH: DU LAC & FEY places cursed Arthurian immortals, Sir Lancelot Du Lac and Lady Morgana Le Fey, into England's smog-choked heart as they attempt to track down Jack the Ripper and put an end to the Whitechapel Murders of 1888. All with the help of Whitechapel local, Mary Jane Kelly - but of course!
The game features voice performances from the talent pools of Dragon Age, Penny Dreadful, Black Mirror and Game of Thrones.
I had the good fortune to be asked along to the voice over sessions where I got to experience the main cast bringing the script to life.
set during the latter half of the 19th century, du lac & fey presented a fascinating, historical challenge.
Research was key to this project, and we worked closely with Victorian historians, Judith Flanders and Hallie Rubenhold.

“The visuals and gameplay are on par with anything that Telltale Games has put out over the last few years. The story is intriguing and well-defined, and the characters feature voice-overs from professional actors.”
