It is set in the fictional American city of Haventon.
Much of the story is revealed through self-recorded video journals that are shown as cut-scenes between objectives.
Further clues as well as different bonuses can be acquired by helping twenty survivors scattered throughout the city.

A part of the game is also spent helping Mei, a small girl that the character has to reunite with her mother.
During exploration the game is played from a third-person perspective and the character can run, jump, swing from pipes or using a grappling hook, slide, balance while crossing short makeshift bridges, and climb.

Many enemies only have close combat weapons but outnumber the player, so by quickly switching between a knife, and pulling the gun to scare t
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks I Am Alive for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding I Am Alive to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2012.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for I Am Alive, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
