The The Half Broken Crown: The Broken Kingdoms is set for release this June and will be free to play with optional micro-transactions available to enhance the player’s experience. The main game, being co-developed by James O’Hara, will feature over 100 unique screens and be a complete, self contained experience.

The game will be based upon the forth coming epic fantasy novel The Half Broken Crown from the author Darren Reid. The game is presented from a first person perspective and is heavily reliant upon puzzle solving rather than combat requiring players to work together in order to solve a series of scenes and puzzles.

“Of all my upcoming projects this is perhaps the one I am most excited about,” admitted Reid, “It is a unique opportunity for me to expand upon the [upcoming] book and to tell new stories.”

The main game being FREE to play will be having additional episodes available from $2.50-$5.00, depending upon the depth of the content being purchased.

The game will be launched exclusively on www.NextGenBooks.com and be playable through internet web browsers with specific and individual versions designed for Wii, DS, PS3, PSP, and PC. All console and computer versions of the game will be fully featured however the DS and PSP editions will not immediately support the multiplayer components of the game.
