May's gone but her mysteries are coming in August

Today Mastertronic announced its forthcoming title May's Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville (although the official press release called it Drgaonville LOL).

This looks like an interesting game for playing if you're in the mood for a puzzle game. Sometimes we have to take a break from shooting people and enjoy the other types of games on the market.  Looks a bit like the Professor Layton games it seems.

Anyway here's the info about May's Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville coming out in August 2011 for the Nintendo DS.

 

 

May’s Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville, sees the eponymous hero embark on a thrilling and charming adventure to find her missing brother. Featuring sumptuous hand-drawn animation, May’s Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville is a real charm, which will see players tackle over 270 puzzles and mini games as they venture through 80 mysterious locations, meeting close to 50 intriguing characters spread across four worlds.

The game offers a unique combination of gaming styles, making it the most comprehensive puzzle adventure yet. The 230 brain teasers are complemented by 25 highly-detailed hidden object scenes (featuring over 500 individual items), 13 rhythm-action games and many more.

Developed by V5 Play, May’s Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville is a lavish adventure, boasting over seven minutes of jaw-dropping full-screen animated cinematics throughout the course of the 25 hour adventure. It is mind-boggling, but never unfair, offering stacks of challenge for players of all ages.

“Puzzle adventures, hidden object games and rhythm action titles make for some of the most popular handheld games,” says Neil McKenna, Product Director, Mastertronic, “but never before has a game offered all three – and so much more. May’s Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville is an incredible piece of software which will captivate all who play. We think May could become the poster child for puzzle adventures, and we can’t wait for DS owners to fall in love with a new heroine this August.”
