Scratches goes gold in North America
This is your last chance to stock up on light bulbs, unless you think you're brave enough to play Scratches in the dark. Got Game Entertainment, the North American publisher of the upcoming horror adventure, announced today that the game has reached gold status, and is ready for duplication. Scratches is due for release on March 1st, 2006, and today's announcement makes that target look solid.
Scratches, the debut title from Nucleosys and the first commercial adventure game out of Argentina, follows the plight of writer Michael Arthate after his arrival at his new home of Blackwood Manor. Intending to settle in to finish authoring his new book, Arthate's plans are soon disrupted as "a terrible secret from the manor's past emerges to haunt the present." Controlling Arthate in this first-person, point & click adventure, you'll find yourself cut off from the outside world, and "as the odd noises echoing throughout the walls of this mysterious mansion grow ever louder, you must set about solving your home's long-held mystery. Examining, probing, and hunting your way through musty rooms, an overrun greenhouse, a sinister chapel, and a forbidding crypt, your investigation deepens, and you slowly become aware of one terrifying fact: you are not alone."
