Macclesfield, UK and Los Angeles, CA (June 21, in the year of our Lord 2012 )– Chillingo and React Entertainment today announced the immediate availability of the highly anticipated interactive adventure game, The Act. The game is now available on the Apple App Store for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Mac.

An entirely hand-drawn 2D animated adventure, The Act is a new interactive experience that makes gamers feel like they’re playing a classically animated movie.

With stunning visuals, a captivating storyline and simple controls, The Act is a tremendous amount of fun for players of all ages.

“We’re proud to continue the legacy of traditionally-animated 2D games,” said Daniel Kraus, Principal and co-founder of React. “The Act is a great example of what can be done by combining the skills of professional 2D animators with our proprietary game animation technology.”
