The game will feature an episodic game structure, similar to the way modern TV dramas are delivered to the audience. The game will be split into distinct episodes and Eden Games is said to have focussed on delivering a “constant sustained pace and high level of narrative intensity” throughout.
“Our new format for Alone in the Dark greatly enhances the pace and tension, keeping players permanently hooked into the engrossing story surrounding the mysteries of Central Park and beyond,” said David Nadal, Game Director, Eden Games. “You barely have time to breathe before the next cliffhanger hits you … “
Each time the player loads a game they will be shown a video recap of the previous episode, much as is the norm for fast paced television dramas. Each 30-40 minute episode will end with a cliff-hanger, and if the player chooses to save and leave the game at this point, a short teaser of the next episode will be shown. Pretty cool stuff, as long as we don’t get spoilers.
Alone in the Dark: Near Death Investigation is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 and PC in the autumn.
