Det er efterhånden rigtig længe siden vi sidst kunne bringe nyt om Atari & Edens Alone in The Dark. Ikke siden september måned sidste år, har spillets udgiver eller udviklere ville sige noget. I dag kan Atari så meddele, at de har hentet Lorenzo Carcaterra ind som manuskriptforfatter på projektet. Carcaterra er ikke en hr. hvem-som-helst og er bl.a. manden bag Sleepers, som de fleste af os har stiftet bekendtskab med i Barry Levinsons filmudgave fra 1996, hvor bl.a. Robert de Niro, Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman & Kevin Bacon spiller overbevisende roller i filmen om de fire knægte fra “Hell’s Kitchen”, som bliver groft udnyttet på et drengehjem og tager hævn som voksne. Vi er klar med to dugfriske screenshots fra Alone in The Dark

With more than twenty years of writing experience, Carcaterra lends his creative pen to provide the most authentic NYC experience yet in a video game. Born and raised in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, Carcaterra has covered the city in both fact and fiction, beginning as a reporter for the NY Daily News in 1976, becoming a successful television consultant and writer for shows including Law and Order and achieving success as the best selling author of such books as Apaches, Gangster and Sleepers, the latter of which became the hit film starring Robert De Niro and Brad Pitt.

“Carcaterra delivers riveting stories filled with graphic narrative that have earned him international acclaim,” said David Nadal, Studio Head, Eden Games. “Gripping, compelling storylines are the basis of what differentiates a good game from a blockbuster. With Alone in the Dark, Carcaterra has crafted a meticulously engaging storyline that will grab the player from the start and send them on a journey through Central Park they will never forget.”
