And here is the continuation of our top of the book worlds who would be nice to get game incarnations. What did I stop the last time?

5. Novel "Nicheg", Neil Gaiman

Each corner of Nizhny London, each of its inhabitants was written out by Gaiman with such meticulousness that in their reality there is no doubt. The world of the writer is struck by the ingenuity and fantasy with which he was created, but at the same time he is reliable in his own way. The roofs of another London will fit into the open world of the game, moving along which you can cut the path and get into a completely unexpected place, as well as an underground monastery, where the key to paradise, the tribes living in the sewers, the mobile county in the metro train and the periodic fair are stored. deck the cruiser "Belfast", where you can do without money.

Marquis Karabas, a mighty hunter, killers of cereals and Vandermar – each of the characters of "Nikogde" deserves a place in a good RPG. And the witching talent of a girl named the door, because of which Richard's adventure was full of, will be a great gameplay feature: the door can open any door https://sister-site.org/big-win-box/, thus falling into any desired place.

London Gaiman lives his life. This city is a great location and, perhaps, even a character for video games. And the lower, magic, London is an even more suitable candidate for these roles.

London was a mystical city even before Gaiman

Quote: “Why … why did some think you died?»Marquis looked at Richard with his eyes that have seen too much. “Because these some killed me,” he simply said. – Let's go ".

4. Zabonysky novels, Walter Moers

Booking, the center of the book life of Zamony, with careful transfer from pages to the game, will give an unforgettable "sandbox". One of the main characters of Moers – the young (only 77 years) Dinosaurus Huldegunta Miforeza arrives in the bookcase to find the mysterious author who wrote the best text in Zamony on a dozen sheets. This manuscript becomes a powerful artifact and launches a flywheel of dangerous adventures. Mythorez is a great hero for the game, charming and smart, although not perfect. The search for the author of the enchanting prose in the city of bibliophiles is the original main quest.

Booking – an excellent setting for video games, a cozy place and extremely remarkable. The city is clogged with bukinistic shops in which you can find valuable specimens from the first circulations – local treasures. Books are rumbling along the boulevards and cafes, the people are dangerous and desperate. Collectors give a task to search for rare specimens and generously pay for services. In the evening you can get to a concert of magical literary music containing a narrative in sounds and has an unexpected sometimes effect for listeners. They say that once on the streets of the city, a paper chant was rampant, and when the daredevils set fire to him, he, rushing in the fire, burned half of the bookstore.

In Hogwarts, there are also very … peculiar books

But the most curious – underground. There, in the catacombs, you can find abandoned libraries and whole layers of forgotten books. In the dark, bloodthirsty sphinhhhhi live and explosive terror-books are found. Pretty secrets are kept by a black castle, and the main secret is its owner Shadow-Corol. For the gaming embodiment of the bookstore, you will need a gamemerator of the level of Michel Ansel, but the result will be simply stunning.

Yeah, and now – attention! This we said only about one city as part of the cycle. But there are other Zamoniy books with their characters and locations, just as wonderful. If you start releasing games on them – wow, flutter, Neverwinter!

Quote: “There is something alive at such a depth?" – I was scared. – “Yes. Unfortunately". – “And what about?" -" It is difficult to say. Something very large. Monster ". – “A monster lives in your basement?" -" A monster lives in any basement ".

3. The story "Monday begins on Saturday", the Brothers Strugatsky

It is easy to find a lot of classes under the game format within the walls of the institute. Freshly baked employee Alexander Privalov – the hero of the story and a possible hero of the game – begins labor activity, getting acquainted with colorful colleagues and studying numerous corners of the institution (there is more institute inside). The NPC here would become a decoration of the game: the director of the institute Janus Poluektovich exists in two incarnations, and these incarnations live in two converging time flows, the factory Christobal Hunt, the head of the Inquisition, a near but assertive Professor Beznaghalllo with his dangerous experiments, speaking a sclerotic cat , elderly magic pike, guards-jinnes ..

Usually in games all kinds of research institutes and complex research lead to trouble. Quantum Break

You will need a lot of text, and it can be taken and necessary directly from the story, it is not in vain melted into quotes.

Game missions – scientific experiments, the study of vast bestiaria (in the old boiler room you can find a snake of Gorynych, and two basilisk live in Vivaria) and a rich collection of artifacts. In the mechanics of the game, it is easy to fit magic according to the Strugatsky versions: in addition to levitation and other well -known tricks, the institute employees use special methods. Create, for example, their own takes (magical clones without self -awareness) to fulfill routine assignments. Postal quest? We create a double for him!

2. Novels about bass lag, China Meville

Bas Lag Meville contains a huge number of remarkable countries, cities, islands inhabited by a bright abundance of races and peoples. RPG with the open world would require a lot of effort and time for the implementation of various and original locations. But we would have a worthy competitor for the TES series.

The city-state New Crobus is great, powerful and harsh; Capitalism won here, the bureaucracy is harsh, but overpopulation and corruption do not prevent the city from accepting a lot of immigrants. New Krobuzon is shrouded in steam and smoke, it is full of practicing magicians, and among the townspeople there are water, semi-hehopri semi-nashexes (nome and communicate with the smells of pheromones), mighty like with a life instead of blood, winged garuds. The policy is sadly known for its unrighteous court and cruel punishments: the convicts here are “redid” – they implant foreign parts of the bodies, change organics to mechanisms, and then send in distant colony.

In the ocean waters, the abode of the pirate freemen floats, here are thousands of ships connected to the city with squares, markets and residential areas. Each district has its own ruler: in dry autumn, for example, this is a vampire of Brookla, who collects a bloodsman from residents for his protection (everyone is satisfied, especially Brookla). Armada is moving a giant-Avank fish, caught in a different dimension and harnessed in incredible sizes.

In the Great Cromlech you will be met by a developed society by the death. Here a kind of culture, social structure and industry – zombies factories produce labor. A minority lives in the ghetto – living people who are saving money for the rite of mummification. On the streets they ask for alms (a sip of blood from an outstretched arm) lowered, exhausted beggars-drills.

The world of the game Sunless Sea is largely reminiscent of bass lag

The story of the bass-lane knows many terrible eras. The empire of the ghosts commanding the basics of being still does not remember aloud. And all the southern lands once trembled under the rule of the malaria kingdom, the female komarov people in their hungry madness did not know mercy, gaining a brief moment of reason only saturated.

Original Mieville and the Magic System. No vulgar lightning from hands, more and more intelligently. Spy, for example, witchcraft allows you to walk not in space, but obliquely, hiding in the shadow.

Bas lag's journey will provide “really new game experience”, as they like to say in the West.

Quote: “A broken country lying behind the incredible sea,” said Douul. – I spent a lot of time in my youth, studying myths and cosmogony. The cracked land, the country of ghosts … Having landed, they hacked not only the surface of the world, but also its laws. ".

1. Stories from the town of Kasl Rok, Stephen King

Quiet towns are ideal for the popular Survival Horror genre. And if you inhabit such a city with the characters of the king of horror, if you start his plots into action, a real holiday will happen on lovers of lovers to tickle their nerves.

Almost everything told by King about the Casl rock easily fits into a delicious game content. Here in the backyards, discarding the scripts, like a stranger from Alien: ISOLATION , The frantic Senbernar-killer wanders Kujo. Here is a grave without a body in a local cemetery, here the writer Ted Bomont symbolically buried his pseudonym and from here a ruthless sadist-killer crawled out. Here is the shop “Night things”, and in the local assortment there is exactly what you need, but the fee is too large, and the seller-demon will soon plunge the streets into bloody madness. And lonely women in the dark are in wait for a maniac, and it can only be stopped with the help of a psychic John Smith.

Johnny Smith in the film adaptation of 1983 was played by a young Christopher Waken. Why King is not lucky and with game adaptations?

And if you dream of a fullest, it would be great to get a DLC with the town of Derry to meet with Pennyiz!
