The first instalment of the Doctor and Amy’s Adventure Games, City of the Daleks, has today been unveiled on the Doctor Who website (*cough cough*), and the BBC have issued a press release to mark its official release.

Showrunner Steven Moffat said: “Matt Smith has been brilliant as the Doctor, but now it’s your turn. We’ve got a cracking story which takes players on a journey to places they’ve only ever dreamed of, in an adventure which threatens to see Amy slip out of time itself.”

He added: “Players get to use the sonic screwdriver themselves, which is pretty cool, and jump between different times. Plus, you’ll meet one of the most evil creations in the whole of time and space. So whilst it’s fun, it’s also scary – exactly as an episode of Doctor Who should be.”

Meanwhile, Karen Gillan is also interviewed on the official website about the game, labelling it ‘top notch’, admitting that she wasn’t expecting the finished product to be as good as it is! She explains: “It was quite a surreal experience, because they’d be like ‘run now!’ and then we’d be running, and then crawling.”

‘City of the Daleks’ sees the TARDIS materialize in 1963 as the Doctor takes to Amy to London to meet The Beatles. However, the London they encounter is very different to the one they expected: a ravaged Trafalgar Square reveals a new Dalek threat, and one which has wiped out virtually every human in existence. Amy’s existence in this alternate world jeopardises everything, forcing the Doctor not just to defeat the Daleks’ latest plan, but save his new companion from slipping out of time itself…

If you haven’t done so already, City of the Daleks can now be downloaded free of charge here. It’ll be available for Mac users from June 15th, and a commercial version will be released internationally next month. Once you’ve played, feel free to share your thoughts here.
