Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok
The Baron hits stores today.
Haarlem, The Netherlands – 18 February 2011 – Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok (PC), the suspense adventure game from independent game development studio Wax Lyrical Games and videogames publisher Iceberg Interactive, is available starting today at retail stores across UK, Scandinavian and Benelux territories as well as digital download portals worldwide. Pre-orders in the Iceberg Webshop ( http://www.iceberg-shop.com/baron-wittard.html) have all been shipped last week.
The eccentric architect Baron Wittard has built something really special: a city inside a building. This monumental pleasure dome, called 'The Utopia', features 1000 apartments, a shopping mall, and hundreds of offices and leisure facilities. All under one roof. Its grand opening was supposed to have been two years ago. That event never happened. A chain of mysterious events has now left the Utopia abandoned and silent. People have gone missing. Electromagnetic disturbances are increasing. These happenings all point to Wittard's desolate Utopia. Armed with only a camera and a torch, you must journey there alone to explore its winding corridors, its secret passageways, and its gloomy halls. Local townspeople say Wittard kept a terrible secret. They speak fearfully of someone or something malevolent lurking at his city. They say it is waiting and growing in power. They say time is running out...
Also available as of today is the fully localized German version of Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok at retail stores across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
