National Geographic and PlayWay have announced
that they're working on an interactive video game that will take users
back to 1912. The game is called "Titanic: Unsolved Mystery" and users
have to search for missing treasure and objects in the shipwreck. The
game, coming to PC, Mac, iOS and Android in the second quarter of 2012,
will allow players to learn about the sinking of the Titanic and see
what the famous ship looked like inside (that is, if they haven't caught
James Cameron's version of the Titanic already).
Play begins with the opening of the world’s first ocean-floor museum.
Gamers can jump between the present and past as they help the game’s
heroine, Lillian, discover the Titanic’s mysteries and get closer to
unveiling the truth behind the disaster that took her
great-grandmother’s life 100 years ago. The game, intended for casual
adult gamers, will be available for purchase and download for PC and Mac
on BigFishGames.com, for iOS on the Apple App Store and for Android on
Google Play. A demo, screenshots and more information are available at www.TitanicTheGame.com.
The game is coming out to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the
Titanic. The game will allow players to see how life was like onboard
the Titanic. This is a key part in a broader effort National Geographic
is making in commemorating the sinking of the ship. The game will
include historically accurate images of the ship's interior and
exterior. The game will also include a soundtrack with ambient sounds.
There is no word on the launch date of the game yet, but stay tuned on my blog.
