Harvey‘s New Eyes has Gone Gold and released New Screenshots

Oct 10, 2012

“Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes” has reached gold status. Daedalic Entertainment successfully completed the work on the Steam of this zany animated adventure. “Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes” will be available fully localized in English on October 16th via Steam.

In “Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes”, players take on the role of Lilli, a young girl at a convent school. Be prepared for a mind-twisting story and hand-made cartoon locations in full HD glory.

At first glance Lilli is the best-behaved little girl in the world. She executes all her chores in a diligent manner, no matter how unfair they may be. Her innocent, imperturbable way of carrying out the orders of others has something both tragic and eerie about it. Any angry thoughts, any childlike disobedience is buried deep beneath a seemingly impenetrable shell of sweetness. But how long will these feelings stay hidden? And where do the friendly little censor-gnomes come from, which paint over anything upsetting in Lilli’s vicinity with a pleasant pink color? Are they real or just a product of her subconscious?

When her best friend Edna disappears under mysterious circumstances, Lilli has to rise above, facing a tough journey to not only get her friend back but also confront her subconscious fears.

Daedalic Entertainment also published six new screenshots to raise anticipation for their crazy adventure even further:

Originally developed for touch screen mobile devices, this critically-acclaimed RPG series features random battles, puzzle rooms, bosses to defeat, and the battle tournament called Ark Arena, where teams of two compete for victory and eternal life.

Players select one of four different couples and proceed to play through a story written exclusively for that couple. In these stories, the other couples will appear as opponents. By experiencing each couple’s unique and epic story, the mystery behind The Agent and the Ark Arena will be revealed and the player will be able to reach the story’s true conclusion.

Featuring a turn-based battle system, players are given the choice between “solo” moves, where they can enter commands separately, or “pair” moves, to execute actions as a team.
