Deep Silver Signs 'Singles' For The UK - Screens

by Rainier on Feb. 6, 2004 @ 10:29 a.m. PST

"Singles", developed by German development team ROTOBEE, lets player's control the lives of Linda and Mike, two very different people, apartment sharing in a busy European city. How they interact and get on is totally up to the player. Expected in UK stores early April 2004 (in Germany it is set to launch on Valentine's Day). Read more for details & screens ...

To give the characters a unique feel that players will relate to, DEEP SILVER in the UK have employed the creative talents of an established television writer, whose credits include such popular soap operas as EMMERDALE, FAMILY AFFAIRS and the highly successful children's television show BYKER GROVE.

A spokesman from DEEP SILVER said, "We've taken the time to make the game more appealing to the UK games player. We wanted the game to be tongue in cheek and 'Ohh errr missus.. don't titter', rather than taking itself to seriously."

Exclusively published by DEEP SILVER and distributed in the UK & Germany by KOCH MEDIA, Singles: Flirt Up Your Life from ROTOBEE will be launched on Windows PCCD, APRIL 2nd 2004.

Having just moved in, with a small amount of money between them, it's for the player to kit out the apartment to their liking, purchasing the necessities and make it as comfortable as possible. The player controls both characters, making breakfast, going to work, relax and recreation, sleeping - in general, satisfying their everyday personal and physical needs.

In addition, the goal is to develop a relationship between Mike and Linda, which is only possible if both are happy. What kind of relationship it becomes is up to the player, there are five different aspects: Romance, Friendship, Sex, Fun and also Trouble - not doing the housework WILL cause friction! A positive relationship between the couple will start from friendship, moving to flirting, intimacy and finally 'erotic' actions!!

With over 16 different characters to choose from and customise, their varying personalities and careers have a constant effect on their everyday needs, their favourite activities and the kind of relationship they prefer. So the player can throw together the femme fatal with a best friend, or a charmer with the cute librarian, and see how things develop. It's the players very own interactive 'BIG BROTHER'.

Exclusively published by and distributed in the UK & Germany by KOCH MEDIA, SINGLES from ROTOBEE will be launched on Windows PC, Q1 2004. For additional information visit the official SINGLES website at: http://www.singles-the-game.com
