There´s still some time left to go until her great performance: Mata Hari, legendary danceress and spy, will be seducing the gamer community in the up and coming PC Adventure Game by Cranberry Production and dtp entertainment, which is scheduled for release in Fall 2008.
However, on the Internet, Mata Hari has already found herself a stage: she is currently practicing her dance moves on the official website of the Adventure, www.matahari-game.com. This is where Adventure Game fans will find extensive information about the game and its characters, as well as attractive graphical material. What makes this website special is that it will also feature background information about some of Mata Hari’ s famous contemporaries such as, for example, Marie Curie.
With the Point & Click Adventure Game Mata Hari, dtp entertainment will be telling a compelling story surrounding the legendary danceress and spy.
Mata Hari’s daring performances at lavish parties during the so-called “Belle Époque” attract influential political and economic leaders, among them the handsome Swiss Oscar Samsonet. He soon reaches the conclusion that the exotic dancer is the perfect tool for reaching his goals. Samsonet panders to Mata’s sense of adventure and lures her with fast money: she turns into a spy.
Her finesse, charm, and seduction skills aid Mata Hari in learning explosive secrets. Yet she soon finds herself in the crossfire: the Entente and the Mittelmächte are caught in a merciless arms race and the first World War looms on the horizon.
Adventure Game icons Hal Barwood (e.g. “Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis; LucasArts) and Noah Falstein (e.g. “Indiana Jones and the last Crusade; LucasArts) are responsible for story and game design. The game is developed by the Hannoverbased team Cranberry Production.
dtp aims to release Mata Hari in October 2008.
