The Adventure Company, a leading

announced the adventure game The Experiment for Windows is shipping to stores

Begin your innovative shared
adventure in what appears to be a deserted old ship, grounded on a beautiful
Pacific island. You mysteriously find yourself in the ship’s operations room
faced with a highly advanced panel of controls, surveillance monitors and a wide
array of sophisticated technology. As you watch the monitors for other signs of
life, you discover a woman. Unable to find a way to communicate with her
directly, you realize you are her only hope. She needs your help.

The problem is, you too are being
held prisoner by an unseen captor. Soon you come to realize the only way to
escape is to help one another. But… who are you? Who is she? Why do you control
both your fates? Is escape from this floating prison your only goal, or is there
a more cryptic scheme?
