subject: Preview of Mata Hari: Betrayal Is Only A Kiss Away (PC) [print this page] Mata Hari: Betrayal Is Only A Kiss Away, a point-and-click PC adventure game by German developer "dtp entertainment," should arrive stateside in the near future. The game is loosely based on a Dutch exotic dancer of the same name, who is able to use her charm and connections with powerful men to serve as a spy in the years leading up to World War I.
Playing as Mata Hari, players will be immersed in an exciting, well-crafted story filled with both colorful historical and fictional characters. Among the famous real-life personages included: Anthony Fokker, the famous airplane manufacturer, the wealthy diplomat Emil Jellinek (whose daughter Mercedes became the namesake for Daimler's prestigious automobile), and Marie Curie, the Nobel laureate scientist whose pioneering work with Radium started a new era in science.
Throughout the game, players will have to make choices that will lead them down different paths. Additionally, what skills you choose to develop, along with what directions you select will yield various different endings: a welcome inclusion for a genre often plagued by linearity and limited replayibility.
In addition to traditional point-and-click gameplay, players must also use Mata Hari's seductive abilities. This includes a dancing mini game, in which players must follow the beat of the music. Stylized notes float across the screen, and players have to click on them at the right time to "catch" them. The more successful you are, the more money you will earn. However, hard-core point-and-click fans not interested in the dancing mini-game have the option to skip it, and stick to the traditional mystery solving.
Although adventure fans in other parts of the world have been able to enjoy Mata Hari for almost a year, it is only recently that Viva Media announced it will be bringing the game to North America within the next few months.
Viva Media CEO Carlo Voelker commented, "We are thrilled to partner with dtp entertainment to bring Mata Hari: Betrayal is only a Kiss Away to North America. She was an intriguing character in real life and her real life activities set the stage for a magnificent adventure. In the hands of Hal Barwood and Noah Falstein, Mata Hari's story of both spy and seductress becomes a top notch adventure game.
