Blair Witch Games Creep onto the Web - http://blairwitch.godgames.com

Official Web Site Holds Links to Games' Mythology, Mystery and Mayhem

Dallas, TX, September 15, 2000 --- Gathering of Developers today announced the

launch of http://blairwitch.godgames.com, the official Web site for the

upcoming Blair Witch games trilogy. The second movie, Book of Shadows: Blair

Witch 2, debuts in theatres October 27 from Artisan Entertainment.

This Web site offers Blair Witch enthusiasts and gamers alike the opportunity

to learn more about the three upcoming PC games in the Blair Witch collection.

Visitors to http://blairwitch.godgames.com can download the Blair Witch Volume

1: Rustin Parr interactive game trailer, check out the latest Blair Witch game

news and previews, and drool over hot, new Blair Witch game screenshots and

character art.

The Blair Witch games each feature a unique protagonist, setting, and weapons

list and combine the film's mythologies with Terminal Reality's Nocturne

characters. Nocturne, a 3D-action horror PC game released in October 1999, was

touted for its cutting-edge technology and gameplay. The Blair Witch games

utilize the Nocturne game engine, which offers a full-fledged cinematic

experience. The games are being developed for the PC.

Developed by Terminal Reality, Blair Witch Volume 1: Rustin Parr is set in 1941

immediately after Rustin Parr's conviction for murder. Parr is the old hermit

that murdered the seven kids and claimed he did it for an old female ghost.

Gamers take on the roles of Doc Holiday (a Nocturne character) to investigate

the crimes. Blair Witch Volume 1: Rustin Parr will creep into stores

nationwide later this month.

Blair Witch Volume 2: The Legend of Coffin Rock, developed by Human Head

Studios, takes place in Burkittsville, MD during the fall of 1886 and involves

Robin Weaver, a young girl believed to be missing in the Black Hills Forest.

Players take on the role of Lazarus and try to uncover the mystery behind

Robin's disappearance and discover a bit about their own character. Blair

Witch Volume 2: The Legend of Coffin Rock will appear in stores nationwide in

October 2000.

Ritual Entertainment's Blair Witch Volume 3: The Elly Kedward Tale is set in

1786 and places gamers in the role of witchhunter Jonathan Pyre. Children are

mysteriously missing and Elly Kedward is accused of and found guilty of

witchcraft. Kedward is banished to the woods. Blair Witch Volume 3: The Elly

Kedward Tale will be available in November 2000.
