The Marvellous Miss Take Coming in November
Los Angeles - October 16, in the year of our Lord 2014
- Just ahead of its 10th Anniversary celebrations, Rising Star
Games is continuing its digital dominance of 2014 with another
new partnership. Having joined forces with Guildford-based
developers Wonderstruck, the stage is now set for The Marvellous
Miss Take - a fast-paced heist adventure packed with cunning,
guile, and lateral thinking - to arrive for PC and Mac on
November 20, 2014.
The story begins in the bustling heart of London, a once
magnificent art collection has been unscrupulously poached and
split up among private collectors around the world. Enter Sophia
Take - the Marvellous Miss Take of the title and the rightful
heir to the misappropriated masterpieces. To reclaim her
inheritance, players must help Sophia as she embarks on an
exciting and daring adventure across the capital; armed only
with a talent for misdirection, she sets out to take back what
was once hers.
Packed with thought-provoking dilemmas and high-security
measures, The Marvellous Miss Take uses organized chaos to keep
players on their toes. Successfully pilfering portraits is not
as easy as it seems, thanks to guards that decide their patrol
routes on the fly, security cameras keeping watch, and even
innocent gallery-goers just visiting to admire the art. Only by
using quick wits can players hope to grab the loot and escape
unseen. And the best part? With a heist this big she won't be
doing it alone...
"As soon as we saw The Marvellous Miss Take, we simply knew we
had to sign it to the Rising Star stable of digital gaming
titles," said Martin Defries, Managing Director of Rising Star
Games. "It's a wonderfully fresh take on a genre that's become
too predictable for its own good, full of vibrant color and
interesting characters. I'm absolutely convinced that players
all over the world are going to love what Wonderstruck has
created as much as we do."
"The Marvellous Miss Take was born from a love of original
gameplay, and we are delighted that Rising Star Games share that
passion," said James Austin, the Studio Head of Wonderstruck.
"We threw away the tired stealth rule book and have created a
thrilling heist game where players need to be smart, nimble, and
constantly think on their feet. Miss Take delivers a truly
modern heist game, starring a new kind of criminal gearing up
for a new type of crime. Rising Star Games is the ideal
publishing partner and we are excited to release the game
together."
