SAN FRANCISCO, May 16, 2008 — iWin, Inc., a leading developer and publisher of online casual games, today announced the launch of Mah Jong Quest III Balance of Life, the 3rd installment of the hugely popular Mah Jong Quest(R) casual game franchise. Mah Jong Quest III Balance of Life maintains the gameplay elements that made the original a successful top-selling hit and adds twists which allow the player to determine the outcome of the story, creating a constantly innovative and unexpected experience.
In Mah Jong Quest III Balance of Life, the player is asked to help the main character, Kwazi, find the answer to one of life's most pondered questions – What is the meaning of happiness? Starting from a mysterious birth and ending as a wizened old man, Kwazi solves an ever-challenging series of Mah Jong puzzles. The story unfolds based on the decisions made by the player.
"Mah Jong Quest III Balance of Life is a significant leap in the Mah Jong Quest series," says Jacob Rohrer, lead producer for Mah Jong Quest III. "We have taken the already addictive mechanic of the game and added a dynamic interactive layer. Players can now create a custom storyline about Kwazi's life and help lead him to the ultimate answer. Each time a player replays the Quest, the potential for new variations to the story unfold."
In addition to the new gameplay element, Rohrer says, "Mah Jong Quest III Balance of Life is by far the most beautiful version ever produced. A stunning artistic aesthetic immerses the player in a wonderful foreign land including dynamically changing music scores that enrich the total experience."
