FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CCG Workshop Licenses The Testimony of Jacob Hollow from Third World Games, Inc.
Hanover, MD - November 17, 2003 - CCG Workshop has licensed the Testimony of Jacob Hollow From Third World Games, Inc. for online play. This traditional card game was released March 2003, and will soon be available to play on CCG Workshop's website.
The Testimony of Jacob Hollow allows up to 6 players to take the role of an investigator exploring the town of Castle Bay. Players try and avoid spirits, fiends and abominations while trying to gain investigation points to further their quest in solving the mystery of the town. Players need to balance both their "Mind" and "Life" statistics, as if either of them reach 0, then they are out of the game!
Ed Mittelstedt, CCG Workshop Owner and Core Developer says, "We have now licensed two fantastic products from Third World Games. Testimony of Jacob Hollow is a game like no other in this genre. It's a card game that has ties to the Resident Evil or Silent Hill line of games for the consoles - a creepy atmosphere, lots of exploring, and facing monstrosities you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy! We are so excited to get it online that we started development before it was even announced!"
Michael Nickoloff, Chief Operating Officer of Third World Games says, "We are happy with Portable Adventures (our first online licensed game) and CCG Workshop, so it seemed like a natural fit to license this game to them as well! Eager fans will be able to play The Testimony of Jacob Hollow with others all around the world and at any time!"
