NeoGAF spotted this Wii game that a French developer is working on. After seeing little of Sadness over the past year, I wouldn't bet that this game gets released any time soon, if ever, but these screenshots have me hoping. The best way I can sum up this game's visuals is Guillermo del Toro pouring bleach on Ico's Yorda, and throwing her in an all new maze of despair. Which sounds way more fun than half the Wii games that have been released so far.
Capucine is an adventure game where everything is dead except you and your capucine flower. As you explore further in the game you must spread light and water to reanimate your surroundings. Things get interesting though, when spreading light also creates shadowy enemies in the environments. Challenged with the goal of creating life rather than destroying it, you're also the one who creates your own opposition. As you try to solve puzzles and bring life back to the mysterious land, the shadows try to steal your flower and rob you of the chance to revive the entire world.
Check out the pictures below for a better idea of how the adventure game works, and make sure you also check out the video here, and the FAQ here.

That sums up my initial reaction to the screens beautifully.
I liked Ico, so this game might be suit me.
Both the visuals and the idea are really mystifying.
Early build aside I'd say the game is showing a ton of promise, got to refine that main character and fix up some animation. Could be a really cool game.
This game sounds really interesting; it's exactly the type of game I've been looking for (an adventure game that my wife will play).
How the hell were you disappointed with Pan's Labyrinth?? Were you disappointed that it didn't turn out to be a kiddy flick? Because I was VERY pleased. I was expecting to see a boring, cutesy children's movie. Boy was I WRONG! That movie was flippin' incredible. And I agree with Mxyzptlk. I think an adventure game based on this movie would be sweet. Hell, they made games based on Harry Potter for fuckssake...talk about disappointing...
