Lexis Numérique Reveal Amy, A Single Player Survival Horror Game For The Playstation 3 PSN

Lexis Numérique have revealed Amy, an upcoming Survival Horror game thats coming to the PS3 PSN in Q2 2011. The game is set in 2034, Global Warming is happening, disease and natural disasters are spreading across the world. The town of Silver City, Midwest USA, has been affected by a Comet. You play as Lana and as the game starts, you've only just regained consciousness.

Things are not all right in Silver City. Violent outbursts, fury, rage, wreckage and death: the world she knew seems to have torn to Hell. As if struck by a mysterious virus, most of the ones she knew have now become part of a wild horde. Lana knows she needs to escape, but she knows she's also infected. but then there's Amy. a little defenceless girl who she decides she will save and keep with her. "You can lose your way. You can lose your mind. But never lose Amy."


Lexis Numérique have revealed some features of the game, some of which are unique to Amy:

Unique & deep gameplay that features extensive cooperation with a character to be protected
Contrary to several games with a secondary character, Amy (the child you have to protect) is neither a super warrior nor a docile character that follows you. You are able to use her small size and weight to reach inaccessible areas, ask her to do specific actions and you’ll even be able to use her mysterious gifts. But she will need to trust you and you might accept to get hurt to keep her safe.

Story-driven survival horror game set in a cinematographic atmosphere
Amy is based on a rich, addictive and twisted story-based scenario. Strong efforts have been put on the characters backgrounds and behaviors but also on audio, sound design and a very unique use of camera setting to create emotion

Original stealth-action gameplay that includes fierce close combat
Lana and Amy are often weaker than their enemies. You can choose to confront them directly by using improvised weapons for close combat. You can run or try to push them away but you can also use hiding places and prefer stealth action. Lana being infected by the virus, she mutates when exposed too long and end up dying if not cured or protected by one of Amy’s special powers. But when infected, Lana can lure her enemies and move without being attacked.

Wide range of enemies with strong AI
Lana and Amy are facing various kinds of enemies that can detect sounds, heat, movements and much move. They also can act in hordes and exchange information. Some groups of enemies being aggressive to each other, you can try to escape by triggering a fight between them.

Rarely seen before quality of graphics and animation on PlayStation®Network
Amy might be one the first games on PlayStation®Network with such a level of rendering detailed modeling and motion capture animation.

Puzzles to unravel arching storyline
Running, hiding and fighting are core elements of the gameplay. However, you’ll sometimes need to use your wit to get out of delicate situations.

December 2034. Global warming has taken effect, spreading disease and natural disasters around the world.

Infected humans, grisly creatures, Special Forces and even other survivors: they will have to trust and help each other to escape their pursuers in their attempt to survive.
