A ‘Steampunk’ Christmas Carol for iPad

PadWorx, the iOS dev team that brought Bram Stoker’s Dracula to the iPad as an interactive book, has launched its second app - A Christmas Carol.

PadWorx version of Charles Dickens’ classic story has a gorgeous steampunk design with loads of interactivity with graphics and music. It’s 130 abridged pages with many hidden easter eggs and uses PadWorx’s own game engine for the interactive elements.

PadWorx claims that the app is Dickens family ‘endorsed’ - which makes this version of the classic tale standout from others, well that and the steampunk awesomeness!

So don’t be a Scrooge! It’s only $4.99 in the App Store and looks fantastic.
