Big Fish Game has released the sixth episode of its award-winning Mystery Case Files series – Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove. In a first for Big Fish Games Studios and a step forward for the casual-gaming industry as a whole, MCF: Dire Grove integrates studio-quality film clues with the hidden-object-and-puzzle adventure gameplay that is a hallmark of the brand. The result is the most immersive casual game ever released by Big Fish Games Studios.

Filmed in Patagonia, Argentina, MCF: Dire Grove begins with the discovery of a video tape in an abandoned car in north England. The game includes approximately eight to 12 hours of interactive gameplay, complete with hidden objects, video clues and puzzles set within an intriguing new location – Dire Grove. Gameplay is open-ended, allowing exploration in a non-linear, classic adventure fashion.

In addition to offering a standalone version of the game, for the first time, Big Fish Games Studios is offering a Collector’s Edition that gives fans early access to the full MCF: Dire Grove game, as well as extra content. With the Collector’s Edition, people can enjoy additional gameplay that reveals secrets about future MCF episodes, an achievements and awards system, an integrated strategy guide, and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the game.

The Collector’s Edition of MCF: Dire Grove is available now for $19.95 USD at www.bigfishgames.com. The standard version will be available in early December for $6.99 USD.
