Paradise found in North America

There will be no February blahs in 2006 for fans of Benoit Sokal, as today Ubisoft announced its plans to publish Paradise for PC in North America early next year.

Sokal is best known in the adventure community for his work on Amerzone and the Syberia games, but Paradise marks the first game released by his new development studio, White Birds Productions. A classic third-person point & click game, Paradise promises the same stylized artistic beauty of his previous games, though set this time in the heart of Africa. Players assume the role of Ann Smith, a young woman on a cross-continent journey to return a black leopard to Kilimanjaro, and discover more about her own identity in the process.
