Alone in the Dark 5 tech demo: playing by real world rules

Video games are becoming more immersive in this generation with the use of realistic visuals, but developer Eden Games intends to go beyond visual pleasantries. Alone in the Dark 5 (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, PC), to be published by Atari, will not only make use of graphics that will steal you from reality, it will also play with real world rules. Check out the tech demo at the full article to know what we’re talking about.

If you’ve been longing for the next horror game that will give you scares, you’re not alone. Fortunately, Atari and Eden Games‘ Alone in the Dark 5 (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, PC) is showing exciting development as seen in the recently released tech demo.

What you’ll see is a glimpse at real world rules – about using any object you can get your hands on for survival. It may sound ambitious for video games, but from what Eden Games showcased, execution is shaping up to be solid. To kick things off, Alone in the Dark 5 tries to be realistic even in inventory management. In the game, everything you acquire appears in your jacket and you have to pick them up from there.

Sticky tapes, smoke sticks, and containers of flammable liquid are all tools of the trade. See them in action by watching Alone in the Dark 5‘s tech demo embedded below.
