Victorian London is more often than not portrayed as a dismal, fog-filled, stinky place, but that’s not the case in the adventure series Bertram Fiddle ($1.99), and soon you’ll be able to experience the second episode of the entertaining series, A Bleaker Predicklement. The first episode, A Dreadly Business, came out in 2014 and was very well-received, including by the urchins in our forums, primarily for its cast of silly characters and humorous story. While the puzzle part of the episode wasn’t the most challenging, players didn’t mind because it allowed them to focus on what really shines, the setting. The second episode was supposed to come out this past November, but the developer’s Victorian-style workhouse was savagely hit by Brexit, so they had to throw some of the urchins in the furnace to keep the cogs turning (the developer’s words, not mine).

Now that they’ve ran out of urchins, the developers will release A Bleaker Predicklement next month, and this game is, apparently, four times the size of the original. And, as the trailer points out, it even contains things like obligatory sewer scenes, dubious meats, new and improved drawers, convincing posters, and more. I like silly games, and Bertram Fiddle looks right up my Victorian alley.
