FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

I DREAM OF AVALON

Siege of Avalon's Chapter 5 Explores Alternate Realities

Digital Tome, an innovator in the delivery of CD-quality downloadable games sold in multiple episodes called "Chapters," announces another release for their first Episodic Game Novel™ called Siege of Avalon™. Focusing on the "story-driven" aspect of Computer-Role-Playing-Games, this "traditional" medieval title is being released in six parts. Chapter 5 is scheduled for release directly from http://www.siege-of-avalon.com on April 13th. This is an "Expansion Chapter" that offers more game play with specific character development opportunities. Chapter 5 is a "Magician" focused adventure that features a dreamscape environment unlike anything that has yet been experienced in the Siege of Avalon saga, demonstrating the range and variety of this innovative game system.

In Chapter 5 the player has to tackle a totally new set of challenges that take place in the "Astral Plane" and in various dream encounters that have even more life-and-death consequences than waking reality. The player will draw specifically on magic and wizardly insight to navigate dangerous alternate realities where souls and spirits conflict for the waking heart. The player must root out the poison seed hidden deep in the dreams of a queen by the forces of Mithras, freeing her from the spirit bondage that makes her betray her people. This expansion was designed for gamers looking for an RPG experience that reaches beyond normal events into the misty worlds of magic.

Digital Tome continues to pack its Episodic Game Novels with the advantages of being downloadable. In addition to releasing new game content in the form of Chapters, innovations in the game itself are also released periodically as free Special Feature Packs. Digital Tome maintains an unusually active discussion forum presence with current players of the game, and takes the most requested new features and integrates them into the system in an unprecedented timely fashion. Special Feature Pack #3 is being released with Chapter 5, and the free updates on the web retrofit these new features to all prior Chapters.

Those who have not yet tried the Siege of Avalon experience themselves now have 2 choices for getting started. The "demo" of the game, the fully playable Chapter 1, is still available for free download directly from http://www.siege-of-avalon.com. For those who want to avoid the big download there is now a "Siege Starter CD" available at the same web site which includes Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 for just the cost of one Chapter plus materials, shipping, and handling.

Digital Tome, a Houston Texas based company on the Internet at http://www.digital-tome.com, launched Siege of Avalon to introduce their unique Episodic vision to the market. The follow-up title, Pillars of Avalon™, has been announced for release later this year. Because of the much larger game environment in Pillars the current plan is to release it first as an in-store retail CD package, providing a full-sized game experience equivalent to about all 6 Chapters of Siege. Pillars of Avalon™ will be complemented with sequel Chapters released every 2 weeks after the CD goes on sale. Digital Tome is also preparing a series of other episodic games in other genre's and styles for release starting this year. The company is aggressively moving towards offering a full catalog of entertainment titles both directly to customers and also through strategic partners.
