Today Big Fish Games announced worldwide availability of Mystery Case Files (MCF): Madame Fate. Now, for those who are unfamiliar with Big Fish Games (the biggest fish in the casual games pond), the company develops family fun games, which can be played on home PCs or Macs. Although MCF: Madame Fate was launched exclusively at www.bigfishgames.com in November 2007, today the company is announcing worldwide availability. Part of the award winning Mystery Case Files series, Madame Fate is a top-selling game and has proved to be a favorite with fans.
To build awareness and demand for MCF: Madame Fate, the team went on the road in November 2007 to demo the new game with several media outlets. The response was overwhelmingly positive as editors had a blast playing the game. One of the things people loved about MCF: Madame Fate is the character descriptions and quirky carnival atmosphere. Of course, Iím a bit biased, but Big Fish Gamesí artists truly are the best in the game industry – I would bet my morning cup of joe on that.
The tour generated some amazing results and sparked interest at the press meetings and the airport gate as several travelers were intrigued and entertained by the game while they waited for their delayed flight to arrive.
For anyone that follows casual games you have heard the typical casual gamer is female and over the age of 35. Not so. Men love these games as well. One man played Madame Fate in the airport until the laptop battery died all the while saying his wife would love the game. Additionally, one of the male editors we met with took the game home and enjoyed playing Madame Fate with his family. The reality is most people, regardless of age or gender, like entertainment and enjoy a fun challenge.
So for all the closet gamers out there and those who are loud and proud, you can now buy Madame Fate online or in retail stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Game Stop.
