This is certainly a rare sight; it is not very often we get a video game based on a book, but Bedlam (EU) is here to change that. The game is based on the novel of the same name by award-winning author, Christopher Brookmyre. You will be taking on the role of Heather Quinn as you blast your way through a variety of levels that are a throwback to the old school FPS shooters.
Heather is an overworked and underpaid scientist developing medical technology for corporate giant, Neurosphere. One rainy Monday morning Heather volunteers as a test candidate for the new Neurosphere brain scanning tech – anything to get out of the office for a few hours. But when she gets out of the scanner she discovers she’s not only escaped the office, but possibly escaped real life for good! Heather finds herself trapped in ‘Starfire’ – the violent sci-fi game she spent her teenage years playing – with no explanation, no backup and, most terrifyingly, no way out!
The author of the book, Christopher Brookmyre, has been heavily involved with the project since day one, ensuring that the game will be as faithful to the novel as possible. He even recorded the game's dialogue before the voice actors came in. Fans of the book ought to find this adaption done justice with the author heavily involved.
Bedlam will be arriving on Playstation 4 in August, 2015.
