Alfred Hitchcok- Vertigo is a video game that takes inspiration from a movie by the amazing Alfred Hitchcock, who shares the same name. You will follow the story of a man named Ed Miller, and alongside him, you will uncover the mystery of what happened to your wife and child after a car accident.

Vertigo

After being involved in a car wreck, our protagonist, the writer Ed Miller somehow finds himself without a single injury in his body. But what’s even more puzzling, is the fact that he claims that both his wife and daughter were in the car with him, but now both are missing. He finds himself lost after this incident, and to try and find a way to find the answers he’s looking for, he starts doing therapy and finds out that the accident left him with a bad case of vertigo.

Although not exactly like Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, this game takes huge inspiration from it. There isn’t much content out there on how the game will play exactly, but it seems that it will play similar to the Life is Strange franchise. In Vertigo you will be able to control three different characters, and use them to solve mysteries that are related to Ed’s flashbacks.

First Reactions

From the short one-minute video we got showing the game, many gamers and fans of Alfred Hitchcock’s movie Vertigo, are failing to see what exactly the game has in common with the movie, except the fact that the protagonist also has vertigo. Many are puzzled with how exactly the game will tie with what there is in the movie since that what was shown in the trailer did not have anything to do with the movie’s plot.

The developers said that the game is going to be loosely based on the movie, but it left everyone wondering why exactly did they get the license to use his name in the title since it could’ve been just a game that takes inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock. Regardless, the game still seems to have an interesting story, and it also takes a lot of inspiration from the famed director’s camera work and will try to recreate his aesthetic to help create an even more mysterious atmosphere to the game.

Summary

Vertigo is not going to be an adaptation of the movie, and it will have its own original story and characters in it. The game seems to take inspiration from how Alfred Hitchcock directed his movies, and it seems Vertigo will try to recreate that in a game. There is not enough information on how exactly the game will be controlled, and how its mechanics are, but it seems to be filled with mysteries, and its story might be interesting.
