In Survival Horror Game Amy, You're Never Alone
Survival horror games typically thrive on forcing players to fend off enemies alone, ratcheting the tension by increasing a sense of isolation. The upcoming PSN game Amy is taking a different approach by giving players an AI companion.
In a post on the PlayStation Blog, the game's publisher reveals a load of info on the downloadable PS3 game. Your character, Lana, wakes up after a comet has crashed into Earth and unleashed a horrifying plague. Lana is infected, though she hasn't yet turned feral like many other survivors in Silver City. She meets up with a girl named Amy, who has some very special capabilities. The mute child can reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible, and she's also able to temporarily cure the infected.
The game is being developed by Paul Cuisset, a veteran designer best known for his classic game Flashback. Check out the video below to see the game in action.
