Last Day of Work Announces Development of Virtual Villagers 3

San Francisco, Calif. - February 06, 2008 - Last Day of Work (LDW), an independent game studio specializing in sophisticated casual games for the mainstream player, today revealed it is developing Virtual Villagers 3 for PC and Mac. A brand new chapter of the award-winning PC game, this virtual life simulation game will put players on the northern shores of the fabled island of Isola, where they will discover new exciting mysteries. The new chapter will offer a larger map as well as all-new puzzles, new Island Events and other big surprises.

The award-winning Virtual Villagers series is one of the most popular and best selling casual games of recent years, remaining on top-ten lists for months at-a-time. The games are a unique blend of simulation, adventure, and virtual pet. Set on the fictitious island of Isola where a lost tribe has landed on its shores, as the village grows and prospers the villagers become curious about their mysterious island home and the secrets it holds. Players guide the villagers past starvation and danger into a thriving prosperity, through exploration of the island and careful management of resources.

“We are having tremendous fun making this third installment of the Virtual Villagers series” said Arthur Humphrey, founder of Last Day of Work. “We’ve made the all-new map larger and more detailed, improved many of the graphics and capabilities of the game, and packed it full of delicious surprises for all the eager fans of the franchise.”

Virtual Villagers will be available for download in spring of 2008 with an estimated price of $19.95. For more information, please visit http://www.VirtualVillagers.com
