instant classic with their blend of Welsh myths and legends told through a truly
terrifying storyline,” said Erik Schreuder, President of Lighthouse Interactive.

capable and enthusiastic team."

GAME SUMMARY

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!
