[Audyssey] Irish Spies

2008-03-04 Thread John Bannick
Nicol,

I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't played Chillingham yet, though I hear 
great things about it.

If you have the inclination and the time, try the free demo and tell me 
what you think of it.

We just this week upgraded the Game Book and all of our games with audio 
improvements suggested by Jeremy and Thomas, plus some other tweaks.

John

Nicol,

The Inspector Cyndi in Newport games are text-based story games, though
they have static graphics for sighted players.
Each game has some mystery to solve.
You move about the Newport of the 1890's questioning witnesses.
You get a menu of questions to ask each witness.
Depending on what you ask, other questions appear, or disappear.
When you think you have enough evidence, you solve the mystery by selecting
the culprit, and their motive, opportunity, and method.
Inspector Cyndi offers helpful advice.
The games all share a cast of characters like Phineus the Fiendish Fenian,
Constable Duffy, Poor Mrs. Stately, Cecil Worthington, The Highbornes, Dr.
Cutter the medical examiner and others.
It was a lot of fun going down to Newport to do the research.
A lot of truly funny stuff that actually happened got into the games.

Audyssey Folks,

Marketing got this idea for a St. Paddy's Day special.
20% off a Game Book that contains "Inspector Cyndi in Newport - When Irish
Spies are Smiling."

It's pretty cool. Someone has stolen Mr. Holland's experimental submarine
from the Newport Torpedo Station. You're the Detective. Inspector Cyndi is
there to offer suggestions. You travel around the Newport of the 1890's
questioning folks like Phineus the Fiendish Fenian in order to solve the
crime.

Thanks to Jeremy and Thomas, we've improved the self-voicing and background
sound handling.

BTW. The game's based on an actual incident. The Fenians did steal
Holland's sub, in New Jersey. But they didn't know how to drive it, and ran
it aground.

The Game Book contains 4 puzzle and word games as well.

The coupon code is: DUBLIN.

Check it out at www.7128.com.
