ICE T CAST FOR LEAD ROLE IN SANITY, AIKEN’S ARTIFACTFox Interactive Combines Bad Boy Image with Comic Book Styleto Create an Unforgettable Fantasy Adventure GameLOS ANGELES (May 11, 2000) -- Fox Interactive today announced at The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) that hip-hop superstar, Ice T has been cast to record the voice of Agent Nathaniel Cain, the lead character in Fox Interactive’s latest science-fiction fantasy adventure game, Sanity, Aiken’s Artifact. Committed to taking interactive entertainment to the next level, Fox Interactive continues to deliver a comprehensive gaming experience where its characters come to life to entertain and immerse fans into the world of computer games.

Scheduled for release late this summer, Sanity, Aiken’s Artifact is a third-person adventure game where players assume the heroic role of Agent Cain, a powerful Psionic, groomed from birth to serve the public and lead the war against rogue Psionics. The familiarity of Ice T’s domineering and powerful vocals will help define Cain and build a strong identity for his character.

"We could not have asked for a better match than Ice T to record the voice of Agent Cain. He exudes the confidence and unique personality that we want for our lead character," stated Dave Shaw, executive director of worldwide brand marketing, Fox Interactive. "Now, players will definitely be able to identify with Cain as they immerse themselves into his insane world."

Insane In the MembraneThirty years from now, citizens around the world have begun to display remarkable psychic abilities. Called Psionics, these tormented souls are able to generate and control energy emissions using only their minds – often with catastrophic and deadly results. Succumbing to the lure of the power they possess, these Psionics will stop at nothing to achieve control of the universe.

In Sanity, Aiken’s Artifact, the mission is to stop the Psionics from taking over the world without losing Cain’s sanity. On their quest to bring the rogue Psionics to justice, players will infiltrate secret drug labs, explore demon-infested catacombs and even participate in a sick and twisted game show.

The game has over twenty story-driven, single-player levels and two multiplayer modes: Deathmatch and Insanity. Multiplay for up to eight players via LAN and the Internet is also an option for gamers. Cain is able to fight with eight Totems (fighting styles) and over 80 Talents (spells). Players can also earn different Talents such as Fireball, Mummy’s Revenge and Wall of Bones which they will need as they progress through the game. Additionally, talents can also be downloaded from the Internet.

Press Release

In the near future, Psionics are among us. Their evil thoughts pulsate across time and space corrupting even the strongest minds. Players assume the role of Agent Cain, a powerful Psionic working for an elite government agency. As Cain, you strive for mastery of innate psychic “Talents” such as the ability to shoot fireballs or the power to summon hideous creatures. Using these “Talents” depletes both Health and Sanity, so players must walk a fine line to ensure that they don't lose their minds!
