About

Progetto Ustica is a serious game that aims at keeping alive the memory of one of the most tragic events in recent Italian history. It is a short exploratory experience created for PC/MAC and, soon, supporting Oculus Rift VR and HTC Vive.

Progetto Ustica recreates the main events of the 50 minutes flight of the ITAVIA DC9 shot down from the sky over the Tyrrhenian Sea at 8:58 PM on June 27, 1980. The project aims at keeping alive the memory of this event attracting also those who do not know anything about it.

Progetto Ustica benefits from the help of Daria Bonfietti and Andrea Benetti of the Associazione parenti delle vittime della strage di Ustica and from the support of Carlo Lucarelli and Bottega finzioni, whose students are working on the research and educational materials of the project.

Progetto Ustica puts the player inside the DC9 shortly after its take off, from a first person point of view. The player explores its cabin, interacts with objects and people, and finds several objects that unlock additional features:

- new points of view, freely selectable by the player, that show what is happening from the perspective of the military aircrafts, a radar vision that encompasses the whole scenario, a lone nocturnal fisherman watching the sky, and more;
- audio transcripts of that night radio communications, both between the DC9 and the control towers contacted during the flight and between military aircrafts and their control centers;
- contextual information on the military activity in the Tyrrhenian Sea, new hints on events of that night and on what followed: investigations, cover-ups, suspicious deaths, and more.

The player retraces the events of that night through multiple points of view, each one contributing to build a different path among several cameras.

Progetto Ustica is not intended as a scientifically accurate recreation of facts, or as an investigative game that aims at discovering the truth. Progetto Ustica is a game for memory. some details of the scenario are true, others are plausible. we leave the player the task to further research and not to forget.

Progetto Ustica reviews and comments

Downloaded tried and was shocked. Turns out the game is based on real events. The DC-9 Catastrophe over the Tyrrhenian Sea was a major aviation catastrophe that occurred on 27 June 1980. The Airliner McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15 Italian airline Itavia performed internal flight IH870 on the route Bologna-Palermo, but 51 minutes after takeoff collapsed in the Tyrrhenian sea, 25 kilometers from the island of Ustica, destroyed in two parts. All the 81 people who were on board were Killed – 77 passengers and 4 crew members. In Italy, this plane crash is known as Strage di Ustica (the Massacre on the Ustica) or simply Ustica (Ustica).

Leaving aside the fact that the game marry in toto some of the most absurd thesis (including those on Ramstein) on the case to be noted as a reconstruction that wants to be at least likely: A) Air combat seems to come out of the imagination of a Baby B) Even in the initial screen there are MIG-29 Just to say the first two things that jump to the eye. The problem is that the game is practically unplayable. In Addition to having a choice of keys very questionable, virtually zero explanation on what should be done, a very bad optimization, the game crashes continuously. Blocking on various screens. Discouraged. Other than memory, this is an insult. _____ All'egregio Developer: A) The hypothesis bomb was supported by Taylor (maximum expert worldwide aeronautics in the event of accidents) and Bazzocchi (Max post-war aeronautical engineer), not by Giovanardi. With Long reports hundreds of pages and publicly available of which you have just shown that you do not even know the existence. Not bad for those who want to give a ' plausible ' reconstruction of Ustica not even know the fundamentals. On the other hand you have placed Mig-29 in the Mediterranean in 1980 or the 104 that make dogfight style planes of the First World War. Or anticipated two weeks the fall of a Mig-23, for the series Miss Good to take two info on Wikipedia. B) The Judiciary has definitively ruled out the hypothesis that AM has somehow deviated or opposed in the last civil judgments, so you are also at risk of complaint for defamation C) to Say that in Rammstein was a sabotage is no different from saying that The 9/11 was the work of an Israeli laser satellite or a self-attack. Anyone who is not an ignorant on the subject would laugh at you in the face. I'm Waiting for your next game on: "DEATH VACCINES", I hope with less bugs. As for the configuration of a normal Intel i3 6100 processor with normal Radeo R7 260X graphics card.
