A few new details for indie developer Nibris' upcoming Wii game Sadness were released in the latest issue of Game Informer. After months of nothing more than a few tantalizing black and white concept shots, we finally have a few details to hook our brains on. Though it definitely isn't much. The game takes place just before World War I and you play Maria, a woman trying to protect her son Alexander after a derailed train leaves you stranded in the eastern European countryside. Alex was blinded in the accident and starts to act... odd. As Maria you must protect Alex throughout the game and he will give you hints as you play. Your surroundings also play a big part since Maria doesn't carry many weapons with her.



A few other factoids:

• Release date sometime in 2008.
• About 15 hours of gameplay.
• There are 10 different endings.

We still don't know what genre the game is (I'm guessing a more action-oriented third person adventure, please oh please) and have yet to see an actual screenshot of the game. That's fine, when can I pre-order?
