Avast! Game Ho! Jack Keane seen ahead for United States!

Yes, my friends. Finally us adventure gaming fans from the United States get to hear some information on when we’ll get to play the new piratey adventure by publisher Strategy First and developer 10Tacle, Jack Keane. And no, you won’t even have to wait until Christmas to play it!

Here’s what the story is about according to Strategy First:

Colonial England. Under a certain amount of… duress… Jack takes on a job which will not only cause him a great deal of trouble, but also bring to light the answer to a mystery out of his distant past. A lack of money leads Jack to accept a charter to take a British secret agent to mysterious “Tooth Island”. When Jack’s ship shatters on the mysterious island’s cliffs on arrival and the secret agent quickly becomes a meal for a monster in the jungle, Jack is soon left to cope with the situation on his own.

“Tooth Island” is ruled by the strange Doctor T, who is cultivating man-eating plants and has his own dastardly plans for the British Empire. And why does he seem to know Jack, who can’t remember ever having been on Tooth Island? What are Doctor T’s plans? And what does he know about Jack’s past?

And then there’s the young and naive Amanda, who is filled by an almost fanatical drive to prove her worth. In the beginning the young lady is employed by Doctor T, and part of her task is to track Jack down and take him prisoner. It doesn’t take long before she begins to wonder if she is really on the right side, or if she shouldn’t join her opponent, the charming Captain Jack, instead.

A hair-raising hunt across the length and breadth of the dangerous island finally airs the mystery surrounding Jack’s past and leads to a spectacular showdown with a dark and deadly enemy and his nefarious henchmen.

The game, which features a swarthy pirate, some maiden’s in distress and even a smart ass remark or two is due to hit American game shelves on April 15th, 2008. Which is just in time for you to stop on your way to the post office, drop off your taxes and then head on over to the game store with all the money you probably won’t have after paying the government thousands! At least that’s what I’M planning on doing with all the money I’m giving to the government. Aren’t I sweet?!
