A game in development by Replay Studios will place players in the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001, the eye of hurricane Andrew in 1999 as well as other real-life disaster scenarios such as Hiroshima in 1945, and the Titanic in 1912.
The game, Survivor: Reality Gaming, has not yet found a publisher, and developers are being sought by Replay to produce it.
The relatively small amount of time that has passed since 11 September will make sure this game is controversial, though a defense for Replay could be argued that the role players take on is always in a rescue situation or surviving.
Criticisms have already appeared on the official Survivor forums.
