SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Feb. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HitPoint is pleased to announce Gogii Games as their first distribution partner for the launch of their new platform inFiction. The deal includes 9 of Gogii's titles from their lineup of hit premium casual games, all rated 4 out of 5 stars or higher.

"Hands down, these are great games. We're excited to bring them to players who have never had the chance to play these titles before on inFiction," said George Donovan CEO of Gogii Games. "For the first time, inFiction is going to let players who couldn't get over the premium price-point to use free-to-play mechanics and sponsored offers to access the full versions of these titles for the first time."
inFiction, which will be released in 2015, is HitPoint's cloud-based mobile platform for streaming puzzle-adventure games to Android, iOS and Fire devices. Taking a page from the playbook of their highly acclaimed, top-ranked, and top-grossing title Adera on the Windows store, HitPoint designed their platform to enable free-to-play and ad-based monetization for any puzzle-adventure title.
"There's all this fantastic content out there in the download channel that's going to look brand new to many of today's mobile gaming audiences. The problem is it's hard to port this stuff and, as premium purchase-based titles, challenging to market and monetize effectively in this market," said Aaron St. John, CEO of HitPoint. "inFiction is the Netflix of puzzle-adventure. It's a one-stop shop for all of the puzzle-adventure enthusiasts on mobile. For developers, inFiction easily wraps premium titles with free-to-play and ad-based monetization and gets them in front of an audience that has proven itself to be insatiable when it comes to puzzle-adventure games."
Along with Gogii titles, inFiction is on track to launch with over 20 hit puzzle-adventure titles from the download marketplace. Each title will be presented in 15-20 minute bite-sized episodes, allowing players to sample several titles à-la-carte, or "binge play" full titles to their heart's content. inFiction also brings social gaming elements to the genre by offering head-to-head and co-op minigames to unlock episodes, or allowing players to check out and explore titles their friends are playing.
