JOURNEY INTO THE MAGICAL WORLD OF
TRINE TODAY

AMADEUS, PONTIUS AND ZOYA SWING
BY TO REVIVE THE PLATFORM GENRE

Trine, a unique and absorbing
fantasy action game from Frozenbyte, which challenges players to battle with the
forces of space, energy and motion in a magical kingdom, is released to retail
today on PC by Nobilis and Ascaron Entertainment.

At the heart of Trine lie the main
protagonists: Amadeus the Wizard; Pontius the Warrior; and Zoya the Thief. As
the game begins, Zoya’s desire to be rich leads her to a castle where she tries
to steal a mysterious object called the Trine. Here she meets Amadeus and
Pontius and once they touch the Trine their souls are bound to it. Players must
now guide the characters through 16 different levels featuring hazardous
physics-based puzzles on a quest to save the kingdom from evil.

Trine features a co-operative
multiplayer mode in which up to three people can participate. The gameplay is
ideal for the multiplayer option as players can use one character each,
utilising their individual powers to create, destroy and interact with the world
in order to invent new solutions to puzzles and find novel ways to defeat
enemies.

Gamers can employ the magical
levitation skills of Amadeus to turn a wooden door into a magic carpet, defying
gravity and floating high above vast ravines. Zoya’s grappling hook and rope can
be utilised to swing across large gaps and navigate between the tree tops of the
dark, dense forest, whilst Pontius’ devastating power can be used to clear
blocked pathways and obliterate enemies.
