LOS ANGELES, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Auryn, Inc., the most award-winning digital publisher of children's storybook apps, and Mary Engelbreit, world-renowned artist and graphic illustrator, announce the release of "Breitville", a paper doll dress up and play app for the digital age. Classic paper dolls are back in digital form in Breitville, a virtual town, where hours of fun await youngsters and reminiscent adults who want to play dress up with paper dolls, decorate doll houses and record their own TV show, all in digital form on the iPad.

For decades, Mary Engelbreit has delighted fans around the world with her artwork -- in particular, her beautiful depictions of children and of life from a simpler time. Now, award-winning app developer Auryn has worked with Mary to transform the classic game of dressing up paper dolls into a fun and interactive app that brings the dolls to life, even allowing users to ask them questions and record "shows" with them.

Breitville is available on iTunes now for $3.99 at http://bit.ly/paperDoll.

FEATURES:

• Five dolls with mix-n-match outfits are included: two girls, two boys, and a baby.
• Interactivity - Ask the dolls a question, or tell them that you love them: they'll respond!
• Show-time - Turn your dolls into stars:  the "TV studio" lets you record videos of the dolls as you move & voice them (Like a puppet-show, but with the dolls. Great for inspiring creativity! Invent your own dialog & plot-lines!)
• Customize the décor with hundreds of items to choose from! You can decorate up to three houses (each house has three rooms and a garden), a park, and the beach!  From the wallpaper in the kitchen, to the white-picket fence in the garden, to the sofa in the living room, you can customize the entire home in classic Engelbreit style.
