Contrast Releases on the Xbox One
June
27, in the year of our Lord 2014 – Compulsion Games is
thrilled to announce today that its digital download
adventure/puzzle game CONTRAST has launched on Xbox One, the
all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft via the
ID@Xbox self-publishing program. Since the game’s original
release on November 15, 2013, the company has spent the
additional development time refining the game alongside the
community to create the best CONTRAST experience possible.
“At the end of the day, it's all about the community and the
fans who have relentlessly supported CONTRAST and our small team
from the very beginning,” said Guillaume Provost, creative
director and founder of Compulsion Games. “Without them,
CONTRAST would never have reached the success and awareness that
it has today. It is with their feedback and constant involvement
in making the game a better experience that we can achieve the
high standards we've always envisioned for the game, and we're
very excited to bring this latest iteration of CONTRAST to Xbox
One users all around the world."
CONTRAST draws players into a surreal 1920s dreamscape; a
vaudevillian, film noir-inspired world where the boundaries
between showmanship, magic, intrigue and deception are blurred.
Players take on the role of Dawn, the imaginary friend of a
little girl, Didi. Every imaginary friend is special, and Dawn
is no exception: she has the unique ability to shift from the
striking 3D fantasy stage into the mysterious 2D shadowscape.
Like every family, Didi’s isn’t perfect; in fact they are as
unique as they come with an aspiring cabaret singer mother and
an absentee father. Didi’s only wish is to reunite her family.
As Dawn, use shadow shifting abilities to solve intricate
puzzles and uncover the secrets that plagues the family’s past.
The acclaimed game, known for its unique shadow gameplay
mechanics and fantastical enchanting visual style, elevates the
experience with top-notch voice casting and an original
soundtrack with lyrics written by Alex Epstein and Compulsion
Games and music composed by Nicolas Marquis at WaveGeneration
Audio. The cabaret inspired music coupled with the entrancing
vocals of jazz singer Laura Ellis lure players even deeper into
the world of CONTRAST. The original soundtrack can be previewed
and purchased on iTunes for $5.99.
The standard edition of CONTRAST is available in North America
for the PC from the SteamŽ Store for $14.99 and the Collector’s
Edition is available for $19.99. The PS3 system and PS4 system
versions are available through the PlayStationŽStore for $14.99.
The Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions are available via the Xbox
Games Store for $14.99. This title has been rated T (Teen) by
the ESRB.
