Good news for all the Americans, we European have to wait until february 2009...

Quote:
White Plains, NY- Nov 14, 2008 City Interactive, a North American publisher of PC and console-based video games, today announced the release of its latest adventure/mystery title - Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual (formerly "Testament of Sin.") In Chronicles of Mystery, players' detective skills will be pushed to their limits as they travel the world in an attempt to unravel an ancient mystery and save a fellow archaeologist before it's too late.

Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual is a classically-styled adventure title from the team that created the well-received Art of Murder: FBI Confidential. The story follows archaeologist Sylvie Leroux as she travels the Mediterranean in search of her Uncle, a fellow archaeologist who was researching a sinister mystery.

In Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual, players will visit exotic and historic locales including the Vatican, Malta and Istanbul in their quest to find Sylvie's uncle. Players will seek clues and solve puzzles as they travel the game's lushly rendered 3D locations.


You lucky! I can't wait to play this game! happydance

This game has easy and logical puzzles. I think most people won't need a walkthrough to finish it without experiencing any kind of frustration.

Ascovel,

I believe you mentioned that it was very short. About how many hours to complete?

Dyl'smom, I think it took me about 6 hours in total, but I've read three different reviewers that they managed to finish it in 4 hours tops.

I liked it. I wouldn't want it longer, but some people may complain that it is expensive considering its length.

Thanks, Carla. I'm looking forward to this one.

I enjoyed City Interactive's Art of Murder, so this one from City looks promising.

The price at $19.99 sounds reasonable.

Chocolade -- whether the game is available via one of the download portals is the choice of the publisher. They may wish to sell the game on CD/DVD before eventually offering it through one of the portals.
