PassionFruit Games is releasing the TIGER EYE game Today! A new game based off the novel Tiger Eye (Dirk & Steele Series #1) by best-selling author Marjorie M. Liu.
I had heard that they were making a video game out of Marjorie M. Lui’s book a while ago and was immediately intrigued and skeptical about the idea. I’ve been a gamer for years and you all know I love all things paranormal. I’m still playing through through game right now, but my review will be up soon. In the meantime, here are all the details about the game including a special release party today will lots of great prizes to win.
Encounter mystery, magic, and romance in the interactive tale Tiger Eye: Curse of the Riddle Box.
The game is a hidden object-style adventure game loaded with compelling puzzles and addictive mini-games. Between levels, players will experience hand-drawn, voice-acted cut scenes that depict the story from bestselling author Marjorie M. Liu’s novel Tiger Eye.
The game will be divided into two episodes. Curse of the Riddle Box corresponds to the first half of the book and takes place in China; the concluding installment takes place in the United States. Each episode will be available as a stand-alone game for just $6.99. Players will also have the option to purchase the games as part of larger packages which include soundtracks, artwork and strategy guides. Curse of the Riddle Box will be available for the PC on April 28, 2010 – the Mac release will follow soon after in May.
