New York, NY - Chooseco LLC and Magnetism Studios are pleased to announce the publication of two titles in the classic Choose Your Own Adventure series for the iPhone. The joint venture is releasing Journey Under the Sea, and Return to Atlantis on Tuesday December 10th. "Magnetism Studios approached us right after the launch of the iPhone 3G in July," Chooseco publisher Shannon Gilligan says. "It was a natural fit for Choose Your Own Adventure. Magnetism has done several very fun, well-designed apps, and the iPhone makes for a great reading experience. Plus, our illustrations and the animated interface look great on the high-res screen. It's so great to bring the books to a new audience and platform." Or maybe an old audience. "Everyone at Magnetism read the Choose Your Own Adventures growing up. Even just seeing the covers of the old books makes us feel nostalgic, and we realized that a lot of other iPhone users probably feel the same way," states Joshua Keay, Magnetism's President. "The Choose Your Own Adventure series helped make reading cool, and we think bringing the classic books to the iPhone will help both old and new readers enjoy them." And the author's take? "My favorite feature is that you can shake the phone and it will randomly take you to another page the book," says series author and founder R.A. Montgomery. "It has the exact randomess of the paper version. I can't stop using it." The titles are available exclusively via the iTunes App Store for $3 (USD).
