Android devices may now open The Last Door Collector's Edition
Halloween may be over, but you can still relive the good old spooky days on your Android device with The Last Door Collector's Edition, which is now available via Google Play. A related press release and Facebook post also lists the game for iOS, but that version is currently absent from many regions' storefronts, including North America and Europe. Whichever system you opt for, the game is free to download, and the first chapter of the story is free to experience. If you want the whole story, episodes two to four will cost $3.99 (that's total, not apiece). Unlocking the full version also grants access to four "minisodes" of content, as well as achievements. Originally released in episodic format for PC starting in 2013, The Last Door is a pixelated point-and-click horror adventure set in Victorian-era England, inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Along with remastered sound and enhanced graphics (though again, the style is deliberately low-res), the Collector's Edition version adds exclusive scenes and puzzles. [Image: The Game Kitchen]
Moebius: Empire Rising out April 15 from Phoenix Online Publishing
Pinkerton Road's crowdfunded point-and-click adventure game Moebius: Empire Rising will make its debut on April 15 for WIndows and Mac platforms via newly formed publisher Phoenix Online Publishing. Phoenix Online Publishing is the indie-focused publishing arm of Phoenix Online Studios, developer of Cognition and The Silver Lining. Moebius, indie RPG Quest for Infamy, horror adventure game The Last Door: Collector's Edition, and mobile puzzler Lost Civilization are the first games slated for release under Phoenix Online's new label, as additional projects for PC, mobile platforms, and consoles loom on the horizon. Revealed in 2012, Moebius was one of many point-and-click adventure games that turned to Kickstarter for funding, surpassing its goal of $300,000 and earning more than $435,000 in backer pledges. Developer Pinkerton Road also plans to produce a remake of designer Jane Jensen's Gabriel Knight later this year. [Image: Pinkerton Road]
