Week in Review: June 24 – 30

We’ve got another marvelous batch of new releases for you this week! If you love history, we’ve got games set in two entirely different eras. Visit Jane Austen’s Victorian England in Pride & Prejudice: Hidden Anthologies. If the 1800s aren’t far enough back for you, you can play Mahjong on Mount Olympus in Mahjong Mysteries: Ancient Athena. Of course, if you can’t decide which time period you like, just get a time machine and visit a few of them in Chronoclasm Chronicles. Watch out for those temporal paradoxes, though.

All of those games and more are available in this week’s list of new releases!

As you uncover clues throughout a series of Hidden Object scenes, use your sleuthing skills to prevent him from using the Mystic Diary to live forever.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk with the likes of Hercules? How about a game of Mahjong with Dionysus, the god of the grape harvest (and, subsequently, god of wine)? While we don’t suggest hanging out with Dionysus for too long – he’s a party animal – we do recommend exercising your mental agility with this relaxing puzzle game. Not only will you get your brain a good workout, you’ll get to explore ancient Greek culture with the gods of Mount Olympus!

Following closely to the plot of the book, Pride & Prejudice: Hidden Anthologies features many of the characters from Austen’s classic novel.

As a good doctor once said, “People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey… stuff.” Doctor Who, you ask? Exactly.
