06/10/2011 - Emily the Strange Strangerous for Nintendo DS/DSi out NOW!Emily the Strange Strangerous for Nintendo DS/DSi out NOW!
Letchworth,
UK – 10/06/2011 Emily the Strange “Strangerous” for Nintendo DS/DSi is a puzzle and adventure story based around Emily the Strange and her missing kittens spanning 6 chapters and over 60 puzzles! Emily the Strange “Strangerous” is set to expand the range of games for girls in the puzzle/adventure game genre on Nintendo DS/DSi by offering
female gamers the unique opportunity to play through over 50+ hours of puzzles and riddles while navigating the world of Emily.
Emily the Strange “Strangerous” brings together the strengths of the Emily brand and builds upon the established
puzzle/adventure games format.
Emily the Strange has been an iconic character since the early 1990's and has become
a beloved counterculture icon all around the world. In her earliest years, she was a quiet but sharp-witted stranger, slinging
philosophy and cultural observations in a series of hand-screened t-shirts and stickers. As her presence grew and became a
standard in the cultural underground, Emily's own story began to emerge in a series of gift books, then comic-books and graphic
novels, and now a novel series for young adults. “Strangerous” looks to give gamers the chance to experience Emily
the Strange in a whole new environment and for the first time, to control and interact with Emily!
Emily the Strange
“Strangerous” for Nintendo DS/DSi will be released in the UK 10th June. Visit http://www.emily-game.co.ukSubmitted: E. Thomas
