    Amy



    officiële site

    release: 11 januari 2012 (PlayStation Store)
    genre: survival horror
    dev: VectorCell Studios

    >>> GameTrailers | Metacritic


    Amy.
    Van de Franse game designer Paul Cuisset.

    The game takes place in December 2034 when the gradual effects of global warming have spread diseases and natural disasters around the world. Amid this bleak scenario, the small town of Silver City in the USA’s Midwest suffers a near cataclysmic incident when it is stuck by an unidentified ‘comet’ from outer space.

    When lead character Lana regains consciousness, her world has descended into mayhem. Violent outbursts, fury, rage, wreckage and death; the world she knew seems to have become a living hell. As if struck by a mysterious virus, most of the people she once knew have now become part of a wild horde. Despite her wounds, Lana must run as far as possible to escape this nightmare. The viral process has also begun inside her but she refuses to become one of them.

    The presence of Amy, an enigmatic eight-year-old autistic girl with strange powers, who seems defenseless, will force her to make choices that will change both their lives. Both Lana and Amy will have to trust and help each other to escape various pursuers who take the form of infected humans, grisly creatures, military Special Forces and even other survivors.

    First Look at AMY - Gamersyde

    &

    Amy Makes Fighting Zombies Feel Fresh Again - PlayStation 3 Preview at IGN


    The game is more of a psychological thriller than a straight hack-and-slash, though it does give the player the option of whether to fight or go for a more stealth-heavy play through. While avoiding combat is easier, only by engaging enemies can you earn collectibles-- meaning putting yourself out on a limb is not only encouraged in this game, but rewarded.

    While Amy clearly takes some cues from Silent Hill and Resident Evil, it also brings some interesting new dynamics to the table. The relationship between you and Amy, for example, is quite intriguing, and one of the most fascinating elements of the game. As you fight against your own body, which is slowly transforming, only being near Amy (or using medicine kits) can return you to your normal self. As zombies don't attack you when you're transforming, this adds the dynamic of trying to balance between when to heal and when not to-- all while keeping in mind that if you wait too long, you won't be able to return to normal (in other words, game over).

    Trying to protect Amy (who you can tell to hide or take along with you, though she does slow you down considerably) also adds to the tension, as does deciding how best to use her. While Amy won't follow you if there are too many corpses around (they frighten her), she'll otherwise do what you tell her to, allowing you to use her flashlight to light the way, hold her hand and, by listening to her heartbeat, detect when danger is close, or even use her as bait.
