After seeing Nour Polloni's walkthrough of the tech demo the other day (and your response), it's clear that I wasn't the only one to be impressed by the footage of Alone in the Dark 5. No doubt about it, Eden games has done a fantastic job of piquing our interest for their upcoming survival horror sequel. 

Now comes news with a horrific twist of its own, and it involves a feature in the game that I don't recall ever seeing before now -- the ability to "wimp out" and skip the hard parts. OXM got the interview with Polloni, detailing the game, and were kind enough to share it with us. Most of it smacks of familiarity, but this one detail took the cake: 

"Another achievement is linked to whether or not the player skips. We want everybody to be able to finish our game, so one of the other new features we've added is the ability to skip sections using a DVD-style menu if you get stuck, but always at a cost, and achievements is one way to reward players who don't skip."
