German
video game publisher Playtainment, an RTL Interactive GmbH company,
announced today that Frankfurt-based development studio Keen Games
(developer of Ubisoft's Anno:
Create a New World
and the handheld versions of the upcoming G-Force
video game)
is preparing to release its casual hidden object/puzzle game, The
Mystery of Whiterock Castle,
on WiiWare in the late summer. The game's launch will mark the first
release of a WiiWare title from a German publisher.

The
Mystery of Whiterock Castle follows
the story of a young knave's quest to find his playmate, a princess
who has mysteriously disappeared from the royal apartments. Armed
only with a wooden toy sword and a magnifying glass, you must comb
through countless rooms and dungeons throughout the castle in search
of the princess. Made for quick pick-up-and-play The
Mystery of Whiterock Castle uses
simple point and click gameplay, letting even the most inexperienced
of players jump into the gameplay with ease. Seek out and collect
various objects concealed in 10 different, and meticulously designed,
settings, either alone or with friends, in cooperative or competitive
modes.
The
Mystery of Whiterock Castle also
randomly scatters the hidden objects within the levels, so the replay
value gets a little bit of a boost, and you get to explore the levels
even more. Regarding the upcoming release of the game, RTL
Interactive's
head of games publishing, Birgit
Hönsch,
said, “With
our entry into one of the biggest online platforms, RTL interactive
is paving the way for other German developers in one of the fastest
growing distribution models. We will increase our online presence
over the coming quarters to deliver premium download titles to gamers
worldwide.”
The
Mystery of Whiterock Castle will
be releasing later this summer, exclusively on WiiWare and is not yet
rated.
