Jack Keane invites players to 'give me a go!'

Playable demo unveils the first four levels of the eagerly anticipated comedy adventure game

Darmstadt, February 13th 2008 - Jack Keane sets sail on his adventures on PCs throughout The UK, Ireland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Middle East and the Far East starting March 7th 2008. Gamers in North America will find out his secret April 15th 2008.

The official playable demo of this comedy adventure from 10TACLE STUDIOS AG and "Ankh" developer Deck13 is available today to whet players' appetites in advance of the full game's release. The four level demo is available for download at www.jackkeane.com

After a hastily enforced departure from London, Jack quickly finds himself on the strangest of assignments on behalf of The Crown. He is sent to liaise with a British secret agent in Capetown and to ferry him to a mysterious island in the Indian Ocean. "Easy money", thinks the swashbuckling Captain Keane, yet nothing is ever quite what it seems. Suddenly, he finds himself plunged into a mind-boggling adventure facing off against carnivorous plants, battling an army of crazed apes, encountering a beautiful and morally ambiguous bounty hunter named Amanda, and ultimately taking on the evil mad scientist Dr. T to decide the fate of the British Empire. Quite a days' work really!

Jack Keane is a funny, action-packed Point 'n' Click adventure game containing many allusions and parodies of famous films and videogames, along with being crafted in the finest traditions of the PC adventure genre.
