Wadjet Eye Games offers
50% off assortment of games, including The Shivah, The Adventures of Fatman, Super Jazz Man and Downfall.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NEW YORK, NY, December 7, 2009—Independent game developer Wadjet Eye Games ( www.wadjeteyegames.com), best known for the underground hit The Shivah about a Bukowski-esque New York rabbi and the acclaimed, supernatural-themed Blackwell trilogy, shows its holiday spirit this year with a series of special initiatives sure to get even the most cynical gamer’s blood pumping.
First off, Wadjet is offering 50% off select titles and donating a portion of all sales to the Get-Well Gamers Foundation ( www.getwellgamers.org), a California-based public charity dedicated to bringing electronic entertainment to children in healthcare facilities.
“It’s the least we could do, said Dave Gilbert, founder, Wadjet Eye Games. “Get-Well Gamers is a great organization, which reminds us all, despite the current economic situation, how truly lucky we are.”
The offer includes not only The Shivah, but also such recommended third-party games as The Adventures of Fatman, Super Jazz Man and Downfall. The offer comes on the heels of another special program, the Blackwell Bundle, which brings fans all three titles (Blackwell Legacy, Blackwell Unbound, Blackwell Convergence) in the acclaimed series for $27.50, a $5 savings over purchasing the games individually.
In addition, as a digital stocking-stuffer, Wadjet is rewarding all holiday shoppers for their purchases by allowing them to become part of the public beta of Puzzle Bots, their hotly anticipated puzzle adventure game, which DIYgames has named one of the “top 10 breakout indie games of 2010.”
IMPORTANT: In order to save 50% on select titles, make sure to type the promotional code “HOLIDAY” when prompted.
