Toronto,
May 16, 2005 - The Adventure Company, a leading publisher of PC
adventure games, today announced it will publish Journey
to the Center of the Moon for Windows®.
A captivating graphic adventure based on legendary author Jules
Verne’s From the Earth the Moon,
this game will debut at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo.
In
this not so distant past, the far side of the moon conjured up the most
fascinating theories. Even some of the world’s greatest scientific
minds believed that our natural satellite had an atmosphere that could,
and did, support various life forms. Based on the premise of Verne's
novel, Journey to the Center of the
Moon follows as a group of scientists create a space capsule
with the intent of landing on the moon’s surface. Where as in the
novel, their mission fails, leaving them floating high above the lunar
surface, in this fascinating adventure, they succeed!
As
scientist Michel Ardan, players are able to wander the surface of the
moon in an unstable but breathable atmosphere and witness the explosion
of plant life at dawn. Players will
explore
fantastic locations including the space capsule, the lunar surface, an
ancient temple, and other mysterious ruins. They will also encounter a
subterranean civilization inside the moon, as well as the Selenite City,
the home of an ancient but highly intelligent race, the Selenites.
With
each step of the journey, questions arise as to the fate of the Selenite
people: Did they deteriorate, like so many of the statues they left
behind? Did they leave the surface to seek refuge in the center of the
moon? Once players answer these questions, they may find their way to
back to earth with news of their fantastic discoveries.

The
game features a variety of ingenious puzzles and a unique, built in
Intelligence Management system. Actions made by the player throughout
the game, as well as the puzzles they solve, are awarded points, raising
their score and earning the respect of the Selenites. Along the journey,
players will interact with a huge cast of mysterious characters and
creatures.
Journey
to the Center of the Moon is developed by Kheops Studio with an
anticipated ESRB of ‘T’ for Teen and “12+PEGI.” For more
