Press ReleaseNew Pieces of Eight ScreenshotsHidden Sanctum releases 10 new Pieces of Eight ScreenshotsCleveland, OH (9 April 2007): Independent game developer,
Hidden Sanctum, developer of the casual game
Rune Rescue and the upcoming
Raven’s Hollow, today released 10 new images for their upcoming
Pieces of Eight game. Pieces of Eight is a 1st-person point-n-click adventure game set in New England during modern times.
“We are quite happy about releasing these exciting new images from Pieces of Eight which should give players a good feeling for the direction and diversity of locations that they will be experiencing in the game”, stated Eric McConnell. “We wanted to avoid giving out just a few sample images – deciding it was best to release a larger number at one time and giving players a broader sample of what to expect.”
Following the crack down on piracy in the Caribbean during the late 1600’s, eight of the most notorious cutthroats forge an alliance and ply the New England coast. After decades of amassing unimaginable wealth, they suddenly vanish in 1722. Rumors of an elaborate underground complex filled with treasure on one of the islands off the coast slowly fades from memory…undiscovered. Nearly 300 years have passed and the stories have all but been forgotten. That is, until you receive a package with cryptic clues about a mysterious island off the coast of New Hampshire…
Pieces of Eight is scheduled for a Q2 2007 release.
