Doctor Who: The Adventure Games is an episodic adventure video game based on the BBC television series Doctor Who and developed by Sumo Digital.[1]
Each episode was made available for free download to residents of the UK via the BBC's official Doctor Who website; a UK internet address is required to both download and install them, though the games subsequently were made available for international sale. The first one was released on 5 June 2010, the second one on 26 June 2010, the third on 27 August 2010, the fourth on 22 December 2010 and the fifth on 31 October 2011.[2] In February 2012, the BBC announced they had shelved the games in favour of worldwide console games such as Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock.[3] At the end of May 2017, the game was made no longer available to purchase on the Steam platform.[4]
