Hello Kitty Packs Her Fall
Wardrobe In Preparation For Her Move In Hello Kitty: Big City Dreams

Hello Kitty’s Biggest Adventure
Yet … and It Will Fit In Your Pocket

Empire Interactive, an international
publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software and a subsidiary
of Silverstar Holdings (NasdaqCM:SSTR), today announced that Hello Kitty: Big
City Dreams, will be exclusively available for Nintendo DS™ and is scheduled for
a fall 2008 release. In search of new adventures Kitty White is moving away from
her beloved Sanrio Town into a simple downtown apartment in the Big City, and
it’s up to players to help her fulfill her dream of someday moving into a
luxurious, top-floor penthouse.

“Hello Kitty fans of all ages will
be captivated by the charming environments and friendly interaction with some of
their favorite Sanrio characters in Hello Kitty: Big City Dreams,” said Rob
Lightbody, Product Manager, Empire Interactive. “Hello Kitty fans will love
exploring the Big City through Kitty’s eyes and helping make her city girl
dreams a reality.”

Hello Kitty: Big City Dreams is a
mini-game based adventure that follows Kitty in her recent move to the Big City
where she will meet up with her old Sanrio pals like Badtz-Maru, Pochacco and My
Melody and even make some new friends. Players will be able to choose between
two distinct modes – exploration and mini-game. In the exploration mode, Kitty
moves around her apartment, explores the Big City and interacts with inhabitants
and items she comes across. In the mini-game mode, Kitty will play through a
variety of mini-games and earn friendship points that will allow her to purchase
costumes, ride the bus or train, and of course customize her apartment.

Kitty will be very busy helping and
playing with her friends, from trying to beat Kerropi’s Arcade Hero score, to
lending Tuxedosam a hand serving customers in Restaurant Rush. Every girl knows
something about fashion and when My Melody is in trouble, Kitty is more than
willing to become an impromptu fashion assistant at her clothing store. After a
long day out and about assisting friends in need, Kitty needs a stress-free
night out on the town, only to find her crush Daniel Star, at Destination:
Dance. One can only imagine the fun and exciting adventures that await Kitty –
and players – as they explore the Big City together.

Kitty’s ultimate goal in the Big
City is to move from her first-floor apartment, where the game starts, to her
dream suite in the sky. It’s up to players to help Kitty collect enough
Friendship Points, by working and helping her friends, so she can earn her way
to the apartment of her dreams. The apartment complex has five floors, in which
rooms get bigger at each floor and end with Kitty’s ultimate goal – the Super
Deluxe Suite.
