Age of Enigma is the story of Ashley, a medium who has been summoned to an abandoned house to help the restless spirits trapped within. To free them, she must travel through time to the moments just before their deaths and resolve the issues that keep their souls shackled to the earth. This task will take her through ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Incan locales, from a pirate shipwreck to a pastoral monastery and finally to the depths of hell, as she tries to reconcile the final acts of each ghost’s life without sacrificing her own.
As a casual adventure game, Age of Enigma has diverse appeal thanks to its multiple gameplay modes. Players can choose the “casual” path, which includes streamlined dialogue, built-in hints, and an interface common to hidden object games, or the “adventure” path for a deeper story experience and more challenging gameplay. This balance of adventure and casual gameplay pleased players upon its initial release for PC and Mac in 2011; to date, Age of Enigma has maintained a 5-star average user rating on the Mac App Store.
Today’s iPad launch is only the first of several upcoming handheld versions, with releases planned for iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire, and Nook Color. “In creating Age of Enigma, we worked hard to make an innovative story game that could appeal to a broad audience of casual game fans, adventure game fans, and beyond,” says David Mekersa, CEO of Casual Box Studio. “We’ve put a lot of love and effort into its development, so we’re very excited to now be bringing Age of Enigma to iPad and other mobile platforms so that even more people can discover this gem.”
