 The Witch's Yarn invites story lovers to spin it different ways!
Emeryville, CA, May 14, 2005 -- Mousechief (www.mousechief.com) releases a new kind of casual entertainment. The Witch's Yarn
let's anyone explore thousands of ways to tell its lighthearted
melodrama. Easy to pick up and play, two minutes after starting the game
readers will be ably immersed in the story. A circus of outlandish
characters perform their magic upon Wednesday the Witch when she opens a
'quiet' yarn shop in the mortal world. This optimistic tale about
personal discovery and self-empowerment will charm adults and older
children.
Presented as a theater script brought
to life, beautiful illustrations and real jazz soundtrack provide the
richest of reading experiences. Gameplay begins as a simple branching
narrative, where the player chooses, scene by scene, which actor will
take the lead. The Witch's Yarn presents a wild variety of
characters players can use to advance the story in different directions.
The fun grows as complications arise, which is handled by choosing the
character best suited to resolve these gradually more difficult
problems. By the end of the tale, an entangled web of conflicted
characters must be carefully navigated in order to bring the drama to a
satisfying, and quite possibly surprising, conclusion.
The Witch's Yarn tells a many
stranded tale of modern living with a healthy dose of fantasy. Although
suitable for everyone, adults will fully appreciate its humor and
situations. It is a story about family, community, and simple living.
Challenges in the game arise from the very same issues by enhancing, not
interrupting, the story.!
Built with the CineProse(tm) adventure engine, The Witch's Yarn
combines the best of movies, live theater, and the written word. Play
for one minute or one hour. It's as easy to pick up and enjoy as reading
a book.
GameTunnel.com had this to say,
"...provides very innovative game play that will likely get this game
noticed. ...The Witch's Yarn definitely meets the mark with a quality
adventure."
An AdventureGamer.com review said,
"Each character has complex interpersonal relationships with several of
the othersÑjust as in real life. This large network of characters is one
of the game's strengths, and the conflicts that arise among them drive
the story forward."
An upcoming review in MacDirectory says,
"...is a noteworthy achievement. ...meant not only to entertain [the]
avid gamer, but also to attract those casual gamers who might otherwise
pass a smaller game by. In fact, this game should also appeal to those
who don't consider themselves gamers at all."
Versions for Windows and Macintosh are
available immediately for free, secure, and easy download. After
previewing the first two chapters, unlock the full game for $10.00
(USD). Over 10 hours of interactive entertainment.
