CAMPINAS, SP and Kansas City, MO - June 23, 2009 – Game developer Overplay in partnership with digital media publisher UCLICK, announced today the release of Avalon, a new downloadable PC game for casual players. The game is the first fairy-themed real-time simulation with a virtual world sure to capture the imagination of all casual gamers and Virtual Village lovers.

Besides the traditional real-time simulation, Avalon includes four mini-games which the player can use to improve the fairy’s skills.

During the adventure, the player passes through four different areas of the game representing the elemental powers: Water, Air, Earth and Fire. Each one has a unique scenario full of challenges and fun.Game features:
