If you run out of retries, then you will have to restart the episode form the beginning. Most of the time it is at most 5-10 minutes backtrack from your current position. If you die during the game you will restart at the most recent checkpoint, however, it is often hard to determine when you last made it through a checkpoint as there is no on-screen indicator. It's also worth noting that the checkpoint system in the game is not very well designed. They will also tell you what impact they will have on your stamina or health if that are consumed. At any time in the game you can press to access your inventory and check what resource items you currently have. However, this will reduce the capacity of your overall stamina bar, which can then only be reinstated by consuming specific resources, such as water, canned food, inhalers etc. If you continue to climb once your stamina bar has been depleted you will have to keep pressing to climb further. Once you do your stamina bar will replenish. climb onto a ledge by pressing whilst climbing. When you exert energy, either by running (hold ) or by climbing structures, your stamina will deplete at a constant rate until you stop that activity, e.g. Your stamina is represented by the white bar at the top of the screen.

The most important aspect of the game in which you will need to know about is Stamina. This can save you a lot of time and prevent you from dying by running out of stamina (see paragraph below for details regarding stamina, health and items). This is because that way by the time you start your second playthrough you will know the layout of the episodes and know which path to take. For this reason I advise doing two playthroughs, the first being on Normal difficulty and the second being on Survivor. Stamina and resource management play a key role in the game and you will have to effectively master both of these elements to survive.Īlthough most trophies in the game are missable, the game itself isn't very difficulty once you understand how the mechanics work. The game can be challenging at times, not only in regards to the enemies you will face but also the environment in which you are in. You take the role of a survivor who is in search of his wife and daughter who were lost during the 'Event'. I Am Alive is a a post apocalyptic action/adventure game developed by Ubisoft that was released on the PSN in March 2012.
