REWOOD CITY, CA -- Signature Devices, Inc. (www.signaturedevices.com ) announced the release of "Mazes of Fate," a Role Playing Game (RPG) for the Game Boy Advance hand-held video game system. It has an MSRP of $29.99.

"Mazes of Fate is an amazing piece of work, and it's something that both serious RPG fans and more casual players will enjoy," said Kenneth Hurley, CEO of both Signature Devices and Graffiti Entertainment. Signature Devices' development studio Graffiti Entertainment worked closely with Sabarasa Entertainment to bring Mazes of Fate to market. The game is being published by O3 Entertainment.

Co-developer Sabarasa Entertainment, in creating the concept of Mazes of Fate, examined several classic RPGs, trying to distill the essence of what made those games so playable and popular. Using them for inspiration, they have crafted an epic RPG that should appeal to new fans and hardcore gamers alike.

Dimitri Criona, Graffiti Entertainment's Director of Sales, says, "One of the most exciting and stable genres for video games is the Role Playing Games category. 'Mazes of Fate' for Game Boy Advance provides players a 'traditional' RPG through fifty different levels. There is no question that this game will provide even the most avid gamers with many hours of high-quality entertainment."

Mazes, which has been in development since March of 2003, is set in a dark fantasy world that is facing divine punishment. The ancient gods, disgusted by humanity's pride, intend to wipe mankind out and replace it with a new, more submissive race of goatmen. One party of adventurers is left to make the ultimate choice. Should they fight back against overwhelming odds, or sentence humanity to a fate that may be worse than death?

Mazes of Fate spans the length and breadth of a huge, dynamic world, and tells an epic story of magic and conspiracy, featuring hundreds of characters you can interact with, an hour of original music with thirty-five different themes, and over twenty-five hours of gameplay.

You will explore dungeons, solve intricate puzzles, and go on multiple quests with a party of up to three adventurers. You can select your protagonist from one of three pre-made characters, or create your own, then seek out and recruit six unlockable allies for your crew. The adventurers can be customized as you see fit, using nineteen skills, forty magical spells from three different schools of magic, and more than three hundred items and equipment to find and use.

You will need all the advantages you can get to overcome hundreds of monsters, unravel the secrets of the gods' plot, and battle your way to the point where you must make the Final Decision that will determine the fate of the world.

Mazes of Fate will ship in five languages – English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian, which you can switch between during gameplay using the in-game Options menu – when it is released this winter.

Mazes of Fate is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB, with the following descriptors: blood, the use of alcohol, and mild fantasy violence.
