Episode one from Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness will hit the download service next Wednesday morning, and we're told it'll cost 1600 Microsoft Points.

The new adventure has been crafted alongside genre veteran Ron Gilbert, and the comic strip masterminds behind the Penny Arcade website.

Classic adventuring spiced with RPG elements is promised, and of course lashings of "adult humour" (though hopefully not like Two Pints of Lager and Packet of Crisps, natch).
