Friday June 29, 2012<\/strong> \u2013 (Kuala Lumpur) – E-One Studio, an indie developer today announced that its eagerly-awaited PC adventure game Hoodwink<\/em> is available to buy today via Origin (http:\/\/store.origin.com<\/a>). Plunging players into the dysfunctional dystopian world of Global-01, in this post-epidemic megalopolis you play Michael Bezzle, a small-time thief trying to make good and win the girl of his dreams.<\/p>\n

The all-powerful corporation Unicorp has other ideas, however, and set against a retro-futuristic backdrop, you\u2019ll have to deal with bureaucracy, ruthless lawmen, chocolate-loving\u00a0cyborgs and a vicious killer plant before you settle with the girl. Featuring challenging puzzles and a bizarre cast of characters, Hoodwink is filled with intrigue, conspiracy and a good dose of mischief.<\/p>\n

“Hoodwink was a load of fun to work on\u201d Says writer, Chris Kuok, known fondly as CK here in the studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a mix of acidic humour inspired by Grant Naylor\u2019s Red Dwarf and Terry Pratchett\u2019s Discworld, anyone looking for a good time will find plenty in our comical tale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoodwink is a classic comic adventure game that is deployed through the E1 game engine that creates atmospheric cel-shaded graphics that bring the murky backstreets of Global-01 to life. The game is further enhanced by a haunting soundtrack from award-winning composer Leon Willett*.<\/p>\n

Hoodwink is available now on PC from Origin \u2122 exclusively from 28th June, priced at AUS\u00a314.99 and NZD$19.99. Localised text versions are also available in German, French, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.<\/p>\n
