[Trailer] ‘Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo’ Delayed to 2022 For Consoles, Steam Version Coming This December
Console fans will have to wait a while longer for publisher Microids and developer Pendulo Studios’ upcoming game based on Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. The game has been pushed back to 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, the Steam version is scheduled for release on December 16, 2021.

Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo is an original story that will take cues from the film and other Hitchcock works.

However, even though no one was found inside the car wreckage, Ed insists that he was travelling with his wife and daughter. Traumatized by this event, he begins to suffer from severe vertigo. As he starts therapy, he will try to uncover what really happened on that day.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
