Those involved in the recently announced Desperate Housewives PC game have revealed more details on what the title will offer.

"As fans of the show would expect, the game is loaded with gossip, betrayal, murder and sex—you know, all the things women like," Mary Schuyler, the producer of the title at Buena Vista Games, told USATODAY.com. She said that the game was geared towards women and that they wanted to target a niche in the games market. "There aren't a lot of games for women today, but this is one where women will really have a good time," she said.

As well as featuring the voice of Brenda Strong (Mary Alice Young), the game's story has also been written by series writer Scott Sanford Tobis. "I want players to feel like they've found a bonus episode of the show," he said. "In fact, it's more like eight separate TV episodes; I wrote about 13,000 lines of dialogue for this game."

The player takes the part of a housewife that was in a car accident 20 years ago and has been living with amnesia. The game is likened to The Sims, and will feature the ability for players to adjust their character's look and buy objects for their Wisteria Lane house. How they get that money is up to the player. They could win at poker, or they could rob a neighbor's house. "And it wouldn't be a Desperate Housewives game if you couldn't try to steal a neighbor's husband, too," added Schuyler.
