Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches PC video game launched


At long last, Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches – the highly anticipated Mythological Adventure game for Windows - is now available at retail stores across the United Kingdom. Published by leading video publisher Lighthouse Interactive and developer Arberth Studios, Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches has garnered rave reviews from top Adventure game sites. The story is based on the gripping tales of the Mabinogion, a collection of eleven prose stories from medieval Welsh manuscripts. The game is deep rooted in Celtic mythology and follows the present day haunting of a lonely teenage girl named Rhiannon, as she unwillingly enters a world filled with supernatural phenomena, magic, and legend. Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches is a must-have Adventure game for this holiday season.

Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches is set on the Celtic fringes of Britain; a place where myth and magic spill into reality, threatening the sanity of a teenage girl named Rhiannon Sullivan. An ancient battle for revenge engulfs Ty Pryderi, the remote Welsh farmstead Rhiannon now calls home. She begins to hear unexplained noises, see disturbing visions, and experience other chilling paranormal phenomena. There is an ancient evil lurking in the walls of Ty Pryderi that holds a terrible connection to a timeless struggle between man and magic fabled in the Mabinogion Legends. Her parents take Rhiannon away, leaving Ty Pryderi to your watch and exploration, but their absence can only postpone the inevitability of revenge and death. Unless you can stop it!
