MIAMI, FLORIDA (March 24th, 2009) - Today Darklight Interactive ("DLI", for short) officially announced their upcoming game Rachel's Walk. The team behind Looking Glass Labs now aims even higher to bring an unprecedented cross genre alternative reality game. Rachel's Walk will combine elements of traditional ARGs as well as old school role playing, adventure games and interactive fiction to engage players in an unparalleled immersive world. The players will have the ability to control and interact with almost everything around them - people, places, and objects - through a specialized interface. The players will have the opportunity to explore the vast lands, interact with the diverse population, and discover a domain that exists only in dreams.

Though much of the story is still shrouded in secrecy, DLI revealed that the players will follow a young girl named Rachel into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and embark on an epic journey that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, a journey filled with mystery and fantasy, heartache and joy.

Darklight Interactive was founded in early 2008 and has been developing Rachel's Walk for over six months under the guidance of David Flor (Project Lead and President of DLI) and Lauren Soffer (Vice President and Creative Director of DLI). "This project has been an exciting opportunity to push the boundaries of traditional ARGs in a way that we hope will make the story more immersive and engaging than ever before," said Soffer. "As a storyteller first and foremost, I feel privelged to work on a project like this that puts the story as the center piece and lets all the puzzles evolve from the story."

"Rachel's Walk is set to be our crowning achievement, blending traditional alternate reality gaming and real world elements with a fully interactive 'dream world' that allows the players to have control over everything that happens," said David Flor, President of DLI. "It is truly a technological marvel, and for that reason we have put as much time and effort in to it as possible in order to make it perfect. When it is revealed to the world, we know that die hard alternate reality game players and traditional adventure gamers alike will not be disappointed."

Rachel's Walk is set to launch sometime this Spring. Players can sign up at http://rachelswalk.com/ .
