September 14th 2001 Named As D-Day
CDV to rejuvenate point-and-click adventure genre with Mystery of the Druids.
Fans of quality adventure gaming will soon be able to remove their black armbands and stop looking so gloomy as CDV gears up to release The Mystery of the Druids, one of the most gripping graphic adventures for years. The game will be released exclusively on PC CD-ROM on September 14th 2001.
Developed by German-based House of Tales - a team of coders who formed specifically to further the adventure game genre - The Mystery of the Druids is a point and click adventure unlike any other. Combining real-world locations with a dark and sinister plot, its unique look, feel and high production values take the traditional point and click genre further than ever before.
The player takes on the role of Brent Halligan, an inexperienced Scotland Yard detective. Assigned to solve a series of grisly murders, Brent soon discovers that the mysterious dark Druids are seeking to complete an ancient ritual in order to summon incredible powers. Brent is accompanied by Dr Melanie Turner - and during the game, players will need to use her scientific mind to further the quest.
Mystery of the Druids weaves real-world locations with a dark and sinister plot and sees players exploring Scotland Yard, Epping Forest and Stonehenge, among many others, in a bid to expose the horror behind the Druid's plan. Human sacrifice and a treachery play a large part of the adventure - ensuring this is no game for the faint-hearted.
Recently released to huge acclaim in Germany, Mystery of the Druids is currently being fully localised, and will be released in the UK on September 14th.
