Summer might usually be a time for rest and relaxation, but not this year, as the fate of mankind will rest in the hands of North American gamers when Limbo of the Lost is released by Tri Synergy.

In the debut adventure from Majestic Studios over a decade in the making, players must guide Captain Benjamin S. Briggs, the central figure in a battle for supremacy between twin brothers Fate and Destiny. In the realm of LIMBO, Briggs must seal the legendary book of Sufferance to prevent Fate from unleashing Armageddon. The book, however, is guarded by the Four Horseman, and just reaching the goal requires crossing a variety of environments, each with its own distinctive style and filled with devious puzzles.

For additional information about the game, be sure to check out the game's official website. No firm release date has been set for Limbo of the Lost, but the game should be shipping to retailers some time this summer.

Now that Overclocked: A History of Violence is out in both North America and Europe, those who are still on the fence about purchasing it will have a chance to take the game for a test drive, as an English demo has just been released.

The latest point-and-click game from House of Tales centers on former Army psychiatrist David McNamara. He must unravel why five young men and women have lost their memories and were found wandering around New York City by exploring the memories of each of them, all the while battling personal and psychological problems of his own.

The demo shows the game's introduction and takes place on the morning of the second day at the facility where the five young people are being held. The whopping 952 MB demo can be downloaded from GamersHell or WorthPlaying.

Like a ghost that lingers after the body passes away, so The Lost Crown is still making its presence felt even months after release. Today's sighting is a new trailer for the latest ghost-hunting adventure from Jonathan Boakes.

In The Lost Crown, players assume the role of Nigel Danvers, on the run from his boss after discovering company secrets he wasn't meant to know. Fearing for his safety, Danvers flees to the foggy English coastal town of Saxton, an area with a rich history of pirates, treasure, and even ghosts. Using real world ghost-hunting tools and techniques, Danvers decides to pursue a legendary crown on an adventure that takes him to a variety of haunted environments.

Along with a smattering of in-game footage, the new teaser includes a lengthy section of the game's introduction, which details the background behind Jonathan's flight from Hadden Industries. The trailer is available for streaming directly or as a 56 MB download from the game's official website.

The Internet is a crazy place at the best of times, but it just got a little more wacko with the launch of the English website for Edna & Harvey: The Breakout.

The 2D hand-drawn comic adventure, which revels gleefully its old-fashioned sensibilities, casts players in the role of Edna, a young girl who wakes up to discovers she has no memory of her past. What's worse, she's now wrongfully locked up in an insane asylum. But she's clearly in her right mind — even her talking stuffed bunny Harvey agrees — and so the unlikely pair plan a daring escape. As they go, they'll meet up with the asylum's other nutjobs, including a man in a bee costume and a pair of Siamese twins. But standing in their way is the head of the institute, who seems determined to stop Edna at all costs for reasons that begin to reveal themselves as Edna's memory gradually returns.

The new website features some additional information about the story and characters, along with a nice selection of wallpapers, music samples, and three different streaming teaser videos.

No firm release target has been set for English markets, but Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is due out in German speaking territories next month.
