" Heart of Darkness was an early inspiration for us as we began crafting the narrative for Spec Ops: The Line. What particularly drew you to take inspiration from Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now? And how hard was it to transfer the narrative elements into a video game? We caught some time with Cory Davis, the lead game designer on Spec Ops: The Line, to discuss this dark tale in the desert.
The third-person shooter focuses heavily on narrative, and also pulls no punches with its content, as Delta Force Captain Martin Walker must fall down the rabbit hole in pursuit of the decidedly AWOL Colonel John Konrad. Players are pitched into a post-apocalyptic version of Dubai, turned from billionaire's playground into sandy tomb filled with horrors. Spec Ops: The Line takes its cues from Heart of Darkness, the seminal 1903 novella by Joseph Conrad, and Apocalypse Now, the Vietnam-set movie that it later inspired.
