Answer 1

Hi.i like the trailers and i took this text from my favorite gamesite,joystiq.com

I Am Alive is an upcoming action and survival video game by Ubisoft to be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The game takes place in Chicago after a major-scale disaster with a yet-unknown cause, and tells the story of a man named Adam[2]. The gameplay is said to focus more on character interaction and problem solving. The game will also challenge players to make "life-changing decisions"

The first trailer shows a post-disaster Chicago, where Adam is in some sort of church being chased by three men, who claim that Adam knows what they want, and Adam, in response, throws them a plastic water bottle. The men dive for it, only to collapse through the floor, which is in fact a glass ceiling. The trailer then cuts back to "six days earlier", with a yet intact Chicago, and Adam walking down the street with a coffee to make a phone call, only to be struck by an earthquake and a large cloud of dust.

Closer inspection of the trailer shows a background advertisement board containing the url www.ruaumoko.com, in reference to Ruaumoko, a Maori god whose movements cause earthquakes. A further reference in the trailer may be the coffee-cup scene from Children of Men.
