Lighthouse announces Nostradamus for the UK
Wednesday, 16 Jul 2008 14:36
This was painted by Nostradamus's son, fact fans
A successful release on mainland Europe (well, a lot of it) has given Lighthouse Interactive and Elektrogames the impetus to announce it for the United Kingdom.
The game, a traditional investigative adventure, will ship on September 5th, 2008, for the PC. It is set in the 16th Century, in renaissance Provence, a region 'ravaged' by religious wars and devastated by the plague.
Players will be challenged to solve a series of riddles and puzzles inspired by Nostradamus, the renowned apothecary, doctor, astrologer and 'visionary'. The aim of the game is to save Queen Catherine de Medici from a 'terrible curse'.
"The addition of Nostradamus to our line-up further exemplifies our commitment to the adventure game market," said Erik Schreuder, chief executive of Lighthouse Interactive.
"We are proud to be partnering with Elektrogames to bring the first-ever game based on the world famous prophet to Adventures gamers across the United Kingdom."
Abrial Da Costa, vice president of sales and marketing at Elektrogames, said: "We are delighted to start a new collaboration with Lighthouse Interactive.
"With their solid reputation in the Adventure genre and a strong distribution channel throughout the United Kingdom, Nostradamus is in good hands."
