It seems this game has flown completely under the radar, so much so that it doesn't even have a wikipedia article for me to quote. From what I can gather this is an adventure game based on the graphic novel trilogy by Enki Bilal called The Nikopol Trilogy.
The IGN review can be found here. They gave it an 8.2/10, which in my eyes is a fairly respectable score. The endgame, according to them;
The demo may also be found at filefront, gamespot, fileplanet, fileshack, or you could simply do a google search and find another mirror.
I don't know about anyone else, but as an advocate of adventure games this one might be well worth a shot. The movie, immortal, based on the same comic book series wasn't bad, and if that's any indication of the quality of the plot then colour me interested. Has anyone given this a try, and can account for it's worth? I'm downloading the demo now, so I guess we'll see in time.

IGN wrote:Where many adventure games get discouraging when you're stuck, Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals is one that feels like a challenge worth taking on. It's fun to look at, fun to play, and it's even fun to call someone you feel might be a bit smarter than you and drag them over to look at a tricky part. If it didn't rely quite so much on the context of The Carnival of Immortals, I'd call it a must-play for PC adventurers.

Sleeper hit, maybe. I'll try this demo.
Yeah, I feel the same
Just yesterday I tried Penumbra and I was all like 'Shit, this game is great! How come I've never heard about it!' I guess my reaction is the same
I knew this was being made, but my hopes for the quality of adventure games aren't that high any longer. But, hey, an 8.2 is pretty good (even if it is IGN), so I hope my fears are unfounded. It's definitely an awesome setting, so it could be good.
Did where you remembered the name from happen to have anything to do with this guy?
Again.
Ass.
EDIT: Man, now I really need an adventure game fix. I haven't given dreamfall a try, so I might give that a go.
