Edna & Harvey website breaks out

The Internet is a crazy place at the best of times, but it just got a little more wacko with the launch of the English website for Edna & Harvey: The Breakout.

The 2D hand-drawn comic adventure, which revels gleefully its old-fashioned sensibilities, casts players in the role of Edna, a young girl who wakes up to discovers she has no memory of her past. What's worse, she's now wrongfully locked up in an insane asylum. But she's clearly in her right mind -- even her talking stuffed bunny Harvey agrees -- and so the unlikely pair plan a daring escape. As they go, they'll meet up with the asylum's other nutjobs, including a man in a bee costume and a pair of Siamese twins. But standing in their way is the head of the institute, who seems determined to stop Edna at all costs for reasons that begin to reveal themselves as Edna's memory gradually returns.

The new website features some additional information about the story and characters, along with a nice selection of wallpapers, music samples, and three different streaming teaser videos.

No firm release target has been set for English markets, but Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is due out in German speaking territories next month.
