Drop Your Linen and Start Your Grinn'n in Eidos' 'Singles: Flirt
Up Your Life'
Eidos Breaks all Boundaries and Clothing Mandatory Rules in this Relationship
Simulation Game Scheduled for North American Release
SAN FRANCISCO, April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eidos plc , one of the
world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today
announced it has secured the North American publishing rights for Singles:
Flirt Up Your Life. Developed by the German company, Rotobee, Singles: Flirt
Up Your Life is a life and reality simulation game, which brings the excitement
and anticipation of new, budding relationships into play. Eidos, in
partnership with Deep Silver, a company of the Koch Media Group, will release
Singles: Flirt Up Your Life for PC via online download early this Summer 2004.
"Eidos is taking the idea of reality simulation up several notches to a new,
unhindered level of gameplay, offering consumers the opportunity to not only
develop relationships and manipulate character interactions, but to also take
on a voyeuristic role that is so popular in today's reality television shows,"
says Tom Marx, project manager at Eidos. "Singles breaks the barriers and paves
the way for more jaw-dropping, eye-popping fun the way reality simulation
should be."
Singles: Flirt Up Your Life places players in the role of matchmaker. Choosing
from over a dozen, unique characters, the player will pick two people to move
into a sparsely decorated apartment and begin their adventure together as new
roommates. Numerous opportunities to engage the characters in situations will
make or break their relationship in the house. The player, having no idea what
each individual's tastes and opinions are, must choose the character's actions
as they interact and learn about one another. Anticipation and curiosity will
build from learning how to collaborate on furnishing the home, to finding out
what your roommate enjoys watching on television most. Of course, if someone
forgets to vacuum the house, there will be trouble.
Simple interactions can uncover shy insecurities, quirky behaviours, anger
fits, and of course, intensely flirty situations which can lead to levels
beyond friendship. The successful bond the player creates between the
characters is what allows boundaries to slip and attraction and physical
intimacy to take over. Even the most opposite characters have a chance at
romance.
Singles: Flirt Up Your Life will offer an extensive list of features giving
players direct control of their relationship building. The state of the art 3D
engine allows for the apartment to act as a veritable blank canvas. Players
will have numerous options to decorate and manipulate their environment
including a large bank of decorations, appliances, and add-ons to allow for
creative new ways to spice up their home and its inhabitants. Character models
are highly detailed offering realistic facial expressions and "true to life"
displays of the human body that can all be appreciated as the game progresses.
The real-time dynamic lighting model gives the needed mood to both the
characters and environments, to evolve into romantic, possibly even erotic
scenarios.
