Daedalic Entertainment has decided to introduce to us a special little caterpillar named Spot who has a rather large role in the upcoming game, Silence – The Whispered World 2.
Spot is no ordinary caterpillar though; this faithful companion to the game’s main protagonists Noah and Renie is what we’d call a Swiss Army Knife of his species. Throughout the troubles and puzzles the siblings may face, Spot will be a valuable asset in overcoming them. Whether that’s by dividing himself up to sneak through the smallest of cracks or to suck in the air around him to float up high to those hard to reach place, he’ll be of great use.
For a more in-depth look at all of Spot’s abilities, check out the list below –
Big Spot: One of Spot’s main features, is to suck in everything he can get close to his mouth. If this is air, the little caterpillar gets inflated and takes the shape of a ball. This can have multiple purposes, as letting him jump like a basketball, thrown him around and use him as a safety pillow for deep drops. Big Spot is so light that he can fly around like a hot-air balloon.
5er Spot: The more the merrier! This is why Spot can divide himself into smaller versions of himself. This can be useful to sneak through cracks, but is also a handy trap against Lumis, evil creatures living in the underground.
Flat Spot: When Spot is not carrying anything in his belly, he is able to deflate himself and become really small. This lets him reach areas that are not accessible for Renie and Noah, but also strong enough to carry people and built bridges to inaccessible areas.
Fire Spot: Spot is hot! At least when he is getting in touch with fire and becomes a living torch. Inflamed Spot can be used to set items on fire and bring light to the shadows of Silence.
Dragon Spot: But Spot is not only capable to suck in air, but also be a carrier of dangerous liquids like lava. He can then use the warm magma against the vegetation or use it to fix broken objects like stone statues.
Water Spot: Spot is also a perfect tool for all gardening work. If Spot is filled with water, he can be used as a watering pot. By pouring water over plants or mushrooms, they will grow and change the environment.
Honey Spot: Little Spot is also a sweet tooth and loves to be fed on honey. As soon as he is stuffed with the tasty nectar, he can hum in a meditative way and calm a whole colony of Honey Ticks.
Helium Spot: Helium is the stuff that makes voices high and squeaky, but also the kind of noble gas that makes Spot weightless. That does not only make him fly around, but also invisible to everyone who crosses his way.
Acid Spot: Last but not least Spot is capable to transport acids. What it will do? Players will have to find out for themselves.
Silence – The Whispered World 2 is schedule to be released in the second half of 2015 for PC, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One.
