2K Play announced today that the critically acclaimed The Misadventures of
P.B. Winterbottom is now available for download on Windows PC through Steam. Set
in a world made famous by keystone cops, theater organs and pie-in-the-face
slapstick, the inventive game has been heralded as a “big contender for DLC game
of the year” by 1UP.com, who gave the game a perfect 100/100 score. The
Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom presents the comical escapades of the portly
pie thief P.B. Winterbottom on his mad-capped pursuit of scrumptious
brain-teasing pies that wreak frontal lobe havoc from the puzzle-filled euphoria
of time manipulation and self-replication.

originally released for Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft. The Windows PC version was developed by 2K
China and is available exclusively on Steam and comes with many new appetizing
ingredients, including expanded leaderboard options, new unlockable
achievements, five additional brain-teasing puzzles and Steam Cloud, which

from the Steam network.
