Mobile gamers dial 1112 for new adventure series
While adventures on the Nintendo DS has become increasingly popular in recent years, the genre has yet to establish much foothold on other mobile devices. That may be about to change, however, with the launch of the first episode of 1112, an original new series exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch.
The debut adventure from independent French team Agharta Studio, 1112 tells the story of Louis Everett, an average middle-class citizen living a very normal life with his nosy wife in New Jersey. But Louis has lately been experiencing constant headaches and strange dreams, and an unpredictable event is about to turn his life upside down.
Created with the intention of making full use of iPhone and iPod Touch capabilities, 1112 is displayed in hand-drawn backgrounds with 800x600 resolution and highly interactive environments. The interactive 3D items can be zoomed in and rotated, and the puzzles include realistic touch-based actions.
Unlike other episodic series, 1112 promises to be a true serial, with each episode introducing a teasing twist at the end that will carry over into the next game. The episodes are planned to run between 4-6 hours each, with the first episode priced at $6 and future episodes reduced to $4. The first episode is available now, though the developer is promising an update imminently to correct any translation problems with the launch release.
