In what is becoming an annual occurrence, independent Swedish developer MDNA Games has just announced the fourth game in the Carol Reed mystery series, East Side Story.

Like the first three games, East Side Story is a first-person, point-and-click adventure that features a visually distinctive watercolor effect. This time around, Carol starts out on vacation. However, her holiday is short-lived as she receives a letter from a friend who informs her of the death of a vagrant at his friend's apartment. Never one to turn down a friend's request and a mystery, Carol agrees to investigate the death and soon finds herself involved in an extremely complex case.

East Side Story will be available for online purchase in October of 2007 and a playable demo is forthcoming. For more information about the game, visit the official website.
