Silk Dust, the third part of Davide Bucci's text adventure saga with and around Emilia Vittorini, has already been available for download for a little over a year. As with the successful predecessor "The Queens Footsteps", poly.play has now taken on the task of putting the exciting puzzler into an appropriate wrapper. The equipment is poly.play-usual lush: In the sturdy cardboard box, which is adorned with a nicely drawn version of the cover picture, there is a colored manual, a poster, a micro-SD with ADFs of the Amiga version as well as the digital versions of the sheer countless versions for other systems from C64 to Apple II and last but not least a small compass in a jute bag.

Whoever has failed so far to ensure in the protagonist's skin that Princess Briccorosso survives the crossing to Cairo for the start of the Silk Road Rally unscathed together with her vehicle, should urgently set about unraveling the web of intrigue, sabotage and kidnapping that develops there - long hours full of always fair but quite demanding puzzles await! The trip into the Italy of the beginning of the twentieth century, which is closely based on real events, but skillfully mixed with steampunk elements, is worthwhile for beginners and text adventure veterans alike. And the successful package that poly.play has put together around it certainly makes the purchase interesting for those who have already made the journey to Cairo.

Those who are interested can get their hands on the game at http://www.polyplay.xyz/Silk-Dust-Colle ... tion_Amiga for a mere of 27 Euros!
