Toronto, Canada. March 22, 2007.

The Adventure Company, the leading publisher of adventure games worldwide, is pleased to announce that it will be releasing Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun for Windows® in October 2007. Based on the novel Evil Under the Sun by the world’s best-known mystery author, this is the third installment in The Adventure Company’s successful Agatha Christie video game series.

Famous detective Hercule Poirot is back in typical style, turning up at just the right time to begin an investigation into the murder of a famous actress during what should have been the start of a relaxing holiday. Taking on the role of Hercule Poirot, players can scour a stunning tropical island for clues and delve deeper into the mysterious relationships between over 20 unique characters to search out the killer.

There are a number of added features and improvements that have been made to Evil Under the Sun based on player feedback, including a more streamlined inventory system, character dialogue choices that will impact events as the player progresses in the game, less repetitive detective footwork, and more diverse environments and locales to explore.

“Agatha Christie fans will finally get the chance to step into the shoes of famous detective Hercule Poirot,” said Richard Wah Kan, President and CEO of The Adventure Company. “We are thrilled to continue the series based on another world renowned classic by the Queen of Crime.”

AWE Games and Lee Sheldon are teaming up once again. Their goal is to create even more stunning and varied environments for players to explore and enhance their experience by adding a host of new puzzles. Intriguing plot twists will be introduced based on how the player chooses to interact with the cast of colorful characters.

The anticipated ESRB rating is ‘T’ for Teen and the anticipated PEGI rating is 12+. Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun will be Windows® Vista™ compatible. adventurecompanygames.com

Hi, All! I just received this e-mail. Some of you have played free adventure games by Alkis in the past. I have, and I really enjoyed the experience. –Beth

We are delighted to inform you that the creation of the new adventure game by Alkis Polyrakis, Diamonds in the Rough by Atropos Studios, is progressing well and according to schedule.

Diamonds in the Rough is a 3rd person, point & click adventure game that features a user friendly interface that will feel both familiar and innovative, an intriguing storyline that will keep you glued to your seat until you witness the ending, and several scores of atmospheric music by Nikolas Sideris.

Ever wondered what the character you were controlling was thinking? In DITR, you will be able to access Jason’s thoughts and use them as actual objects in the game, just like inventory items!

You play the role of a 20 year old American called Jason Hart. Jason is a high school dropout who works as an office boy. All that is about to change in the beginning of our story, when he is approached by a mysterious man who seems to know more about him than Jason does himself.

The man claims to represent an organization that recruits people who are believed to have “special abilities”. Those abilities could be telepathy, telekinesis, or other extraordinary powers. Jason has had such an ability all his life, fearing to admit it to himself, let alone others. He accepts the job offer for this organization, which is called “Diamonds in the Rough”.

The story begins as soon as Jason moves to a town in the Midwest, where he will be employed doing this mysterious “work”. He will soon start to wonder who he is really working for, and what the purpose of the organization is.

Diamonds in the Rough is expected to be released in the fall of 2007.

Always keep in mind: Nothing adventured, nothing gained.
