Not a whole lot is know about this Survival Horror game called Afterall: Insanity other then the genre of the game itself. It will be available for the PC worldwide this November and it will hit consoles shortly after. Let us hope for a good port, if you are a console gamer as the screen shots look pretty cool as well as the above trailer. This is no doubt an under the radar game, as it has not seen too much promotion considering it is not to far from launch and not too many people know about it.
The game will use the Unreal 3 engine and is set in a post-apocalyptic future..surprise! Afterall: Insainty is set in the year 2032, 20 years after the end of World War III, after a nuclear holocaust has taken place with everyone living underground in large cities. You take on the role of a psychologist named Adam, where you work with a team of medical scientists in charge of monitoring fugitives mental stability.
Things take a left turn sooner or later and being in third person only adds to the survival-horror theme. With so little out there on the game, I have posted a ton of more info below as well as a press release. You can check out the teaser trailer here and a few screen shots below. Official Site.

Afterfall: InSaniry – The Beginning
Following the World War II and its inconclusive outcome, the world’s most powerful superpowers signed a series of treats, that were thought to secure long lasting peace for mankind. Despite all the assurances of amity and cooperation, past grudges remained. The dawn of the XXI century saw the world seemingly united, even under the banner of organizations like NATO. But at heart, the world was divided – the status quo retained solely by fear of nuclear power. A Global Cold War lasted for 67 years, resulting in an unprecedented arms race and the development of advanced defensive measures – such as Project “Afterfall” in the Polish Republic.Military research on proton accelerators commenced by the Fourth Reich, resulted in the creation of a new generation of WMDs – the fusion bomb, weapon of unsurpassed destructive power, that made traditional nuclear warheads look like cherry bombs.On the twenty first of December 2012, a plane codenamed Flight 826 was to transport a shipment of this new explosive material, known as “Entropy” to the Spanish wastelands in order to tests its potential. The plane never reached its destination; it plummeted into the English Channel. The specifics of the incident are unknown, though rumors ranged – from technical malfunction, to it being shot down by RAF or an unsuccessful hijack attempt by the IRA. Whatever the cause, the crash resulted in the most powerful explosion to date. The Benelux countries were eviscerated in an instant, the blast reaching as far as Northern France and South-Western England. However, before fire consumed Western Europe, military warning systems went off and fingers on the buttons got twitchy. Conventional and nuclear missiles launched into the air, headed for strategic targets across the globe. The III World War erupted and came to an end before even a single soldier took up arms. There were no victors.
When the sirens started wailing across the Polish Republic, military and government officials knew that only one hope remained – a secret network of Shelters built under Project Afterfall. Civilians fled towards military installations for safety. But not everyone made it in. The unlucky ones could only watch helplessly as the reinforced doors of the Shelters closed, condemning them to a quick death in the nuclear fire or the slow agony of radiation sickness.

In 2009 NG took Intoxicate Studios under its wing in their efforts of creating the precursor to Afterfall. Nicolas Intoxicate was given a free hand and funds for a new project which was realized in April 2010 and was announced as Afterfall: InSanity – an action horror game based on the Unreal 3 engine. We’re striving to prove that the creation of a great game by a small studio without extensive past experience is in fact possible.
