Amy
The new survival horror game developed by Flashback mastermind Paul Cuisset is heading to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
This near-future thriller, published by Lexis Numérique, begins after the Earth is ravaged by a rogue comet and a deadly virus has turned most humans into pseudo zombies. Players experience this bleak world through the eyes of Lana, one of the few lucky (or unlucky) humans to escape the disaster unscathed. Or so she thought. As the virus begins to take hold, she tries to escape the city with an eight-year-old autistic girl named Amy who seems to have supernatural powers.
Along the way, you must sneak through environments to avoid detection from the military quarantining the vicinity, and occasionally take arms with found objects when the zombies get a bead on you. Check out the screenshots below to get a better feel for the vibe that developer VectorCell is going for.
Amy comes to PlayStation 3 on January 10 for $12.99 and Xbox 360 on January 11 for 800 MS points (which translates to $10). We're not sure why one version is cheaper than the other, but multi-console owners interested in the game should take note.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
