December 22, 2005

Plymouth, MI - Stardock Corporation announced today that it had reached an agreement to bring ETROM: The Astral Essence, the fast-paced action-RPG from P.M. Studios, to the company's progressive TotalGaming.net game-distribution service. ETROM: The Astral Essence takes players on a thrilling open-ended adventure to a bleak, futuristic world, where survival is earned, rather than expected. Scheduled for release in February 2006, ETROM will be available at TotalGaming.net for just $29.95.

Developed by P.M. Studios, ETROM: The Astral Essence weaves a story across time and space, full of advanced technology and ancient magic, in which players will battle alongside and against demons, secret divinities, mechs, hovertanks and dragons. ETROM features an extensive character development system, a deep story-driven campaign and striking visuals that bring the developers' unique universe to life.

"We're very excited to be partnering with Stardock and TotalGaming.net to bring ETROM: The Astral Essence to a worldwide audience," said Fabio Delsanti, Managing Director at P.M. Studios and Lead Designer of ETROM. "They've proven their commitment to providing gamers with a simple, user-friendly method of buying games electronically."

"Stardock is dedicated to bringing high-quality titles to a broad audience, without many of the hassles traditionally associated with electronic distribution services," said Brian Clair, Director of TotalGaming.net. "With products like Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords, Space Hack and now ETROM: The Astral Essence, TotalGaming.net offers players great games that are theirs for life."
