Got Game Entertainment has announced that it will be publishing the first-person, point-and-click horror adventure game, Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches, in North America for the Computer.

The game’s story is focused around a haunted Welsh farmstead, which you start exploring after the new owners’ fifteen year old daughter, Rhiannon Sullivan, starts experiencing some spooky sights and sounds. The whole thing is apparently based off a series of Welsh legends that I’ve never heard of called the “Four Branches.” So is it about some cursed trees? Angry Leprechauns with sticks (oh wait, that’s an Irish legend, isn’t it)? The following line from the press release just confuses me further:

“This spine-tingling story of the haunting of a lonely, teenage girl blends magic with technology, fact with myth, and horror with compassion.”

Compassionate horror? Do they mean something like Casper the friendly ghost? Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to wait until this October when the game releases at the budget price of $29.99 to find out what’s really going on.
