Edna & Harvey: The Breakout

Press Release PROVIDED BY GAMES PRESS

For Immediate Release

Edna & Harvey, stars of the upcoming point & click extravaganza Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, have broken loose and are now conquering the web via their new online home at http://edna.daedalic.de/?lang=en. Fans of zany adventure game exploits will find all news and information on the 2D comic adventure from Daedalic Entertainment, as well as screenshots, wallpapers, videos, audios samples and much more.

In Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, Edna wakes up in the padded cell of an insane asylum with no memory of her past or how she ended up there. Only one thing is for certain: She has been wrongfully imprisoned and will have to escape! After all, she feels entirely sane – and her speaking stuffed toy bunny Harvey wholeheartedly agrees. Together they undertake a daring breakout attempt, meeting up with numerous oddball inmates, like the Man in the Bee’s Costume or Siamese twins Hoti and Moti. But Dr. Marcel, the sinister head of the institute, will do everything in his power to stop Edna. What evil scheme is afoot? Slowly Edna begins to regain her memories of the past…

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is a point & click adventure game in the vein of the genre’s classics. Backgrounds and characters are completely 2D and drawn by hand by a real person in the game’s unique cartoon style. The game’s characters range from odd to genuinely crazy – twisted humor guaranteed! Thanks to challenging puzzles, extensive dialogues and more than 120 screens, gamers can look forward to an extraordinarily long gameplay experience.

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is set to be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in May 2008 with additional territories to follow.
