More “spooky” stuff.

Ubisoft played smarts with Assassin’s Creed, hype a title with a pretty face next to it and you’re sure to get attention even if the game itself was mediocre. Putting that aside, Ubisoft (or Jade Raymond) has announced their latest project; I Am Alive. Even though the title is NOT being developed by Ubisoft, it’s a project of Jade Raymond. Her involvement in the title is unknown at this point, though we’d reckon it’s limited to giving to 1,000 interviews and doing PR work. More details in E3 2008.

Set after an earthquake hits Chicago, I Am Alive is being labelled a “survival game”, with a few major differences from the typical “survival-horror” titles we’ve been seeing waves of recently. You won’t be trapped in the dark, beating up masses of scary things with great big weapons - instead, it’s more like a first-person adventure title, with a low emphasis on weapons.
