My current love of choice-based narrative horror games is no surprise when I look back on how much I obsessed over the GIVE YOURSELF GOOSEBUMPS books, which are non-linear, interactive, and personalized experiences with multiple endings-a very similar paradigm to common video games. It was through this endeavor that I found the ultimate combination of my love of video games, horror, and books: The GIVE YOURSELF GOOSEBUMPS series.

I’d stay up on school nights way later than the average 4 th grader should have, using the light from my Nintendo DS to illuminate the pages of THE HAUNTED MASK or WELCOME TO DEAD HOUSE, and then continue my quest to find more of Stine’s works in the school library the next day. Stine paperbacks that would occasionally pop-up on the shelves in my room. Consequently, it’s no surprise that I gravitated to the creepy, shimmering R. Growing up as the youngest of four, I inherited a ton of hand-me-downs from my older siblings, including a spooky gene that really embraced horror movies and Halloween.

It’s no guarantee, but we never thought we’d see another Dead Space game, did we? In case you’re wondering, American has been at it with this third Alice game since 2017, and has been enlisting support from fans in order to build up a proposal to try and sway EA. McGee cautions that the outline is not final, but rather the “minimum amount required to convey the main story.” After things have been finalized, then the work to flesh out dialogue, locations and scenarios begins. “The narrative contained within is still very much a Work In Progress,” explains McGee, who immediately states that there are heavy spoilers in the document, so those curious about the pitch should proceed with caution.Īpart from some final editing, the idea for this outline is to drive the production of the game’s Design Bible. And while that still revolves around EA’s final say, the latest news from American’s Patreon has a little treat for fans in the form of the full narrative outline for Alice: Asylum. American McGee is still plugging away to get a third Alice game off the ground.
