| The Graveyard for iPhone Almost two years after its initial release for Mac OSX and Windows, Tale of Tales have ported their controversial indie title The Graveyard to Apple's iPhone platform. As of now, The Graveyard can be purchased in the App Store. As with the PC release, a Lite version is available for free. The only difference between the two is that in the full version, the protagonist may die. The Graveyard can be downloaded here or directly from the App Store. The Graveyard is a very short game. You play an elderly woman who visits a cemetery. She walks down a straight path towards a bench in front of a chapel. She is old and has trouble walking. So it takes a while to get there. During the difficult walk, we pass by the neatly arranged rows of concrete tombs embedded in a lush atmosphere of sun, clouds, trees, shrubs and animals who found a home in this place. When she finally arrives at the bench, the woman sits down and listens to a song. It's a pensive moment, a quiet pause. When the song is done, she gets up and walks back to the gate. In the full version of the game, there is a chance that she dies while sitting on the bench. The Graveyard was selected for the Independent Games Festival last year, for Indieacade and for the European Innovative Games Award. It has been exhibited in Mediamatic (Amsterdam), LABoral (Gijón), FILE (Rio de Janeiro), ACMI (Melbourne) and many other media festivals throughout the world. It is currently on display at Dam (Berlin) until March 24 and a Spanish translation, called El Cementerio, can be played in the Estación Futuro in Intermediae (Madrid) until May. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Game News :: home page |
