Delete After Reading tasks you with saving a video game in a text-based adventure, coming to mobile on March 14th

Patrones & Escondites (of Unmemory fame) has announced the official launch date for Delete After Reading, the studio's intriguing text-based puzzler that's coming to iOS and Android on March 14th. Dubbed "the game you can read, and the book you can play", it's a comical adventure that tasks players with stealing back the only copy of The Curse of Penguin Island, and it's now open for pre-registration as well.

In Delete After Reading, players can expect to embark on an unforgettable journey as they team up with a bunch of quirky characters to save a video game from a despicable billionaire. It may seem like an odd quest to embark on, but when you've got a 103-year-old ghost, a goblin rapper, and a reincarnation of Blues Brother John Belushi in the form of a bunny by your side, nothing is impossible. After all, saving a video game is always a worthy endeavour, isn't it?
