Infogrames, Inc. Unveils Second Playable Character In Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare.
Aline Cedrac Joins Edward Carnby In Highly Anticipated Supernatural Thriller.
LOS ANGELES, CA, May 11, 2000 - Strong, determined, troubled, independent, conflicted - just a few words to describe the unmistakably striking Aline Cedrac. Unveiled today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Aline is the second playable character in Infogrames, Inc.'s upcoming spine-tingling chiller, Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare.
The latest in the myriad of exciting nuances that players can expect from the originator of the survival/horror genre, players will now have the opportunity to play the game from two different perspectives, through Edward Carnby, the infamous supernatural detective, or Aline Cedrac, a high-spirited adventurer and anthropologist. Bringing an additional element of mystery to the storyline, Aline has her own motivations and reasons for being on the cryptic island off the coast of Maine, Shadow Island.
"Intense anxiety and fear are the key emotions Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is trying to invoke in its players and having the ability to play the game from two different viewpoints enhances those emotions even further," said David Riley, director of marketing for Infogrames. "The character, Aline Cedrac is not only a remarkable addition to the storyline of this game but is also an indication of the shift in character style in the horror/survival genre toward a more intelligent, instinctive persona."
Along with the two playable characters, there will be ten additional characters that Aline and Edward will interact with throughout the game. Each of these non-playable characters will either help or hinder their efforts of discovering the truth hidden on Shadow Island. Will Aline or Edward ever escape the sinister clutches of impending doom that lurks on this island?
Developed by DarkWorks, Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare will reach most major retail stores this fall. For additional details and updates on the newest edition to the Alone In The Dark series visit the official Web site at www.aloneinthedark.com.
