    Default [ANN] Cathy's Caribbean Club from Mystery Studio

    Yes guys, the third game in our female-underdog-making-it-big trilogy, with three identical initials and everything!

    In this one you play Cathy, a naive but good-hearted girl who gets stranded in the Caribbean and decides to serve smoothies to the celebrities that hang out there.

    CCC is more similar to Betty's Beer Bar than to Wild West Wendy, but also with new elements such as buying upgrades for the place, hiring barmen and live shows, and stuff like that.



    More screenshots and a more comprehensive description here - http://www.mysterystudio.com/ccc.php

    This game took slightly over a year to see the light, and fortunately it seems to be selling quite well both in Windows and Mac. Today it's featured in Big Fish and it should appear everywhere else shortly.

    Enjoy!

    Hahaha! How funny! I saw this on Big Fish today and commented to a friend, "Betty's Beer Bar, Part Deux" Little did I know it was our very own Mystery Studio that made it! It looks great! Congrats!

    lol. CCC sounds even better than BBB and WWW. I am looking forward to DDD (ding dong ditch), AAA (American Automobile Association), KKK (ku klux klan) and other three identical initials games that sound funny to Americans but probably mean nothing to you. But I would guess you would skip those and go to the universally appealing XXX.

    Congratulations Gabriel. I still think you're losing 50% of your downloads (and sales) by not having it called "Betty's Beach Bar" or something, and losing all the goodwill associated with the Betty name. This said -- well done!

    Best regards,

    Bug report: the uninstaller fails to remove the start menu items. (Note: I had renamed the start menu group from "Cathy's..." to "games\Cathy's...". Also, my Windows installation is on drive I:. Neither of these should make any difference.)

    I'm sorry to say the game will cause obesity on your wallet. Congrats. I'm really looking forward for your next game with a game title : DDD ( Damn Delicious D*ck)

    We discussed this a lot. In the end we decided to distance this game from the Boobs and Beers from Betty which actually caused negative associations (to a few distributors at least).
