Doctor Who’s firework-themed adventure explodes on PCs today

The Doctor is once again materializing on UK PCs today with his new adventure, The Gunpowder Plot.

The follow-up to last year’s popular season of adventures sees the Doctor landing the TARDIS in London, 1605, and "encountering a group of men who are plotting to assassinate the Head of State. The Doctor, Amy and Rory realise they are at a pivotal point in time but so are two alien races, each of which are more than happy to change history to suit their own ends."

Written by Doctor Who alumni and overseen by Broken Sword’s Charles Cecil, The Gunpowder Plot promises to be “considerably larger“ with “more adventure elements, and many more people to talk to than the earlier games”.

Like last year, the downloadable adventure is free to UK gamers through the official site, where you can also download the four-episode first season of stories. No word yet on a worldwide release, though as an inexpensive commercial deal was struck last year, it’s likely the same will happen again at some point.

Update: The game is now available for purchase outside the UK from Legacy Interactive.
