VP releases The Abbey mystery adventure game

Virtual Programming on Wednesday announced the release of The Abbey, an adventure game for the Mac, priced at $20. It’s available for purchase and download from VP’s Web site.

The Abbey features Dolby Surround Sound support and more than 70 minutes of music played by the City of Prague Orchestra.

System requirements call for an Intel-based Mac, Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, 512MB RAM, GeForce 7300, Radeon X1600 or GMA X3100 or better 3D graphics, 3GB hard disk space.
