A
Doll's
House
Ultimate
Edition
Released
|
|
Paal
Olstad
has
released
'A Doll's
House
Ultimate
Edition'.
It
includes
A
Doll's
House,
2 new
levels
never
released
before,
plus 8
levels
from
Ghosts.
For
those
who
haven't
played
the
earlier
version,
the
game
is not
a
shoot
'em up
but
rather
'A
game
of
action,
adventure
and
puzzle
solving.'
It's
been
put
together
very
well
and
requires
a lot
of
thought
to
complete.
There's
more
info
and
screenshots
on the
game
homepage.
