Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo tells the story of Ed Miller, a writer who escaped unscathed from a car crash in Brody Canyon, California. Ed insists that he was traveling with his wife and daughter, though nobody was found in the car wreckage. Traumatised by the crash, Ed begins to suffer from severe vertigo. As he starts therapy, Ed will try to uncover the truth behind what really happened on that tragic day.
“Working on this new story, loosely based on the master of suspense’s movie of the same name, was a formidable achievement for us.” said Josué Monchan, Narrative Designer at Pendulo Studios. “Hitchcock has had a deep influence on all our games, whether through our characters or our stories. We envisioned this game as a tribute to his entire filmography, by including numerous references to his work, as well as multiple iconic Hitchcockian elements, such as his camera shots, his use of colours or his most recurring themes like obsession, confusion between illusion and reality, and madness.”
