Ubi Soft catches Hitchcock

Ubi Soft Entertainment has announced that it will publish Alfred Hitchcock: The Final Cut, Arxel Tribe's adventure game based on the work of the famous movie director. The game includes more than 30 hours of gameplay and 50 different locations. Players will assume the role of a private investigator with psychic powers. They must investigate the mysterious disappearance of one of Hitchcock's biggest fans, an amateur movie director who was last seen shooting a movie on his private estate. Players must use their psychic powers to uncover the secrets behind the mystery.

"This is a game that will appeal to adventure game fans, as well as movie buffs," said Laurent Detoc, president of Ubi Soft. "The Final Cut features various puzzles that expertly weave knowledge of Hitchcock films into clues, and a soundtrack that draws from Hitchcock classics. Fans will also get a chance to view actual footage from films directed by Hitchcock, including Psycho, Frenzy, Shadow of a Doubt, Torn Curtain, Topaz, and Saboteur."

Hitchcock: The Final Cut was developed in conjunction with Universal Studios and will be available in stores later this month for an approximate retail price of $29.99.
