Critically acclaimed puzzler
arrives with deliciously intoxicating new features

2K Play announced today that the
critically acclaimed The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is now available for
download on Windows PC through Steam. Set in a world made famous by keystone
cops, theater organs and pie-in-the-face slapstick, the inventive game has been
heralded as a “big contender for DLC game of the year” by 1UP.com, who gave the
game a perfect 100/100 score. The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom presents
the comical escapades of the portly pie thief P.B. Winterbottom on his
mad-capped pursuit of scrumptious brain-teasing pies that wreak frontal lobe
havoc from the puzzle-filled euphoria of time manipulation and self-replication.
