Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo is an Adventure Game developed by Pendulo Studio and published by Microids, released in 2022.The story follows Californian author Ed Miller, who wakes up in the crumpled ruins of his car: he's miraculously unharmed, but his wife Faye and daughter Jenny died in the crash. There's one small problem with this, however - the police didn't find any bodies in the car, let alone evidence that this family of his ever existed in the first place, and ever since Ed has been having of fits of vertigo so severe that he can barely get out of bed. A few years later, Ed's old friend Robert Carrigan hires therapist Julia Lomas to consult him, now living under the care of his Aunt Claire in the town of Cerro Lake, to hopefully shed a light on what really happened - for both Ed's sake and his own. Meanwhile, the police reports deaths and disappearances happening at Cerro Lake around the same day of the incident. Ed becomes the prime suspect, and starts wondering if he isn't simply insane.The game features three playable characters, and acts as a blend of Point-and-Click and Interactive Fiction similar to what Telltale Games has produced before.As the title suggests, the game is inspired by the works of Alfred Hitchcock, particularly his movie of the same name, Vertigo, albeit loosely.The game was released for Windows on December 16, 2021 and for consoles, including Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S and Nintendo Switch in September 2022.

The Cameo
 Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo (Video Game) / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Alfred Hitchcock himself (or a look-alike considering the different time period) appears in the back of the movie theater at the beginning of the story. Likely a reference to Hitchcock's own habit of doing Creator Cameo in his films.

Byronic Hero: Ed is a invokedlone author who lives in a remote house in the hills and is not very sociable, not to mention the fact that he may be insane and a murderer. Thankfully, the latter two aren't true, though the journey to clear Ed's name digs up a whole suite of buried issues.

Like Father, Like Son: Ed is following in his father's footsteps to an eerily similar degree, going as far as also losing his wife and daughter to a car crash in Brody Canyon, at least he thinks so. Played for Drama and later Subverted as Ed learns that his father was not as good as a man as he remembers him and decides to break the cycle.

Close to Home: The reason Sheriff Reyes is so hostile towards Ed Miller is that the whole incident forces him to relive the death of Maddy and Jenny Miller as well, and they were his girlfriend and daughter. He believes Ed to be just like his father whom he hates.

Awful Truth
 Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo (Video Game) / int_363f94c9
comment
Awful Truth: The first part of the story has Ed learns that his childhood didn't happen as he remembered it: His father, John wasn't a playful dad who hid candies and treats in the house so his son could seek for them, but a compulsive drinker who made him seek for his alcohol behind his mother's back, the latter, tired of John, started dating Nick Reyes and got a child with him, Ed wasn't playing spies with his father when he took a photo of his mother and left it on John's office, the picture he took was actually of her kissing Nick. And when his father learned that, the car crash that killed the mother and little sister wasn't an accident, but a deliberate murder on the part of John, which Ed unwillingly and indirectly caused. While Ed is at first in denial, he learns to accept it as the childhood he had and decides to become the person these events made him to be. For Robert Carrigan, if learning that his adoptive daughter died drunk and falling off a building wasn't awful enough, he has to learn she actually killed her "best friend" and impersonated her, being alive the whole time and on a criminal spree only to die for real eight years later by falling off a bridge.

comment
Character Development: Ed, at the beginning of the story, is a Deadpan Snarker author who hasn't written anything in more than ten years, and possibly insane. By the end, as he learns the truth about his past, he learns to overcome what he previously didn't accept and become a more genuine person. He even gets to be the one helping others, as seen when he calms down Esther Franklin when she's having a freak-out.

Alternate Character Interpretation: In-universe. Ed wonders what pushed his father to jump off a bridge a few days after the death of Maddy and Jenny. Was it a Murder-Suicide planned from the start or a result or a growth in guilt that he couldn't bear? Or was he just afraid he would be arrested for his crime?

Fake Memories
 Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo (Video Game) / int_66ce8a39
comment
Fake Memories: Ed Miller's memories of his childhood have been greatly influenced by his aunt Claire sugarcoating it, upon reliving them through hypnotherapy, the events are seen in a new light, case in points: Ed remembers how his father used to hide treats in the house and played pretend with him as a "secret pirate brotherhood" behind his mother's back. In reality, it was alcohol his father was hiding from his mother and he used him to retrieve it, there was also no "pirate brotherhood". Ed also recalls that a broken tire, bursting in the middle of the road caused a car accident when his family and he were going on vacation. The car stopped on the ledge of a cliff, his father evacuated him from it, but the car slipped into the canyon with his mother and sister before he got time to do the same for them. In reality, John had voluntarily crashed the car and pushed it into the canyon to prevent Maddy from starting anew and taking the children from him.

Gaslighting: Oh boy! Basically everything that happened to Ed Miller was done by Veronica with the intent of making him believe he was insane. Meeting him one night, sleeping with him, then disappearing without trace only to come back a year later with a baby that is allegedly his. Then disguising as his deceased mother in the middle of the night and showing before him then drugging him so he loses consciousness and believes it was only a nightmare. And finally, faking a car crash, disappearing once again with the baby, then disguising herself as Ed's dead father and making him reliving the latter's death.

Enfant Terrible: Veronica Carrigan. When she was little, she framed her caretaker for an injury she inflicted on herself, so her father could spend more time with her. It only got worse in her teenagehood, when she attempted to frame Ed, Robert Carrigan's friend at the time, as guilty of pedophilia. She was eventually busted and sent to the psychiatric center but she managed to get out by disguising her "friend" Lisa Horowitz as herself, letting her fall of the roof drunk, and impersonating her the day she was about to leave the facility.

Classical Anti-Hero: Ed may be a well-meaning man but plagued with regrets and spent most of the story being in need of help rather than being the one helping others.

Dramatic Irony
 Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo (Video Game) / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: Played with: The audience learns prior to the characters about Faye being actually a wicked woman manipulating Ed. Through a cutaway scene that plays right after Dr. Lomas states that "if there is a psychopath in this story, it's not Ed Miller". Nobody learns the true reason as to why Veronica was found dead at the bottom of Brody Canyon and assume it was a suicide. In reality, the final scene of the game reveals that Petronius, Ed's cat, is the one who pushed her.

Abusive Parents
 Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo (Video Game) / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: John Miller wasn't the loving father Ed remembers: in reality, he would often get angry and raise his fist, threatening to punch him. He would also lecture his son on how he was just as much of a failure as himself. He also killed Jenny, though he did so after learning she wasn't his actual daughter. It is also said that Veronica's biological parents were incredibly violent with her, which would explain her psychopathic traits according to Dr. Lomas. Note that Veronica herself wasn't exempt from being this to Jenny whom she regarded as nothing more than a prop.

Mistaken for Pedophile
 Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo (Video Game) / int_b4fb00f6
comment
Mistaken for Pedophile: Veronica attempted to frame Ed for pedophilia by uploading pictures of herself posing in her schoolgirl uniform on his phone. All because she couldn't stand having him taking her father's attention away from her. Luckily for Ed, Veronica's plan was flawed. The police investigated him and uncovered the truth .

Clear My Name: As befitting of a Hitchcock-inspired game. Ed is suspected of the murder of Samuel Franklin, and his own lack of understanding regarding what he went through doesn't help him, but with the help of Dr. Lomas, he hopes he can make sense of this situation and clear his name.

Mind Screw: The promise of the game basically. A man claims he killed his wife and daughter in a car crash which he mysteriously survived, then saw his long-deceased father jumping off the nearby bridge and attempted to do the same. Then we learn there is no proof of the existence of the man's alleged family.

Stranger Safety: Ed met his girlfriend Faye when she was seeking asylum at his house after she broke her ankle, ran out of essence and hurried to the nearest house. He accepted and let her spend the night at his house, and the two eventually developed feelings for each other. Turns out Ed was the one in danger the whole time.

comment
Sympathy for the Devil: While John Miller is clearly evil enough to kill his wife and her daughter because he can't stand seeing her leave him for another guy, many usually refer to him as a well-meaning man who "got lost and started to drink" and the game highlight that he had self-esteem issues from the start, making it easier to see a more human side of him.

Chekhov's Gunman: A few minor characters turns out to have much more important roles than it seems at first: Barry Dennison, the truck driver who saved Ed from suicide, turns out to have actually been an accomplice of Veronica, though he isn't aware of her entire plan. Veronica herself, at first she is mentioned by her father on a phone conversation he had with Dr. Lomas, and she is said to have died eight years ago. Turns out she is alive the whole time and the actual Big Bad.

Kill and Replace: Young Veronica Carrigan befriended Lisa Horowitz at the Riverhead psychiatric hospital, but in reality, the friendship was only a way to gain her trust and manipulate her into sharing a birthday party on the rooftop during which Veronica made her drink alcohol as a way to celebrate Lisa leaving the hospital the next morning. But as Lisa became drunk, Veronica swapped clothings with her and made her fall off the roof. Lisa's death was mistaken for Veronica's who took the identity of Lisa for the rest of her short-lived life.
