This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Sterling George and The Light Wielders is an ambitious stealth action game that was in development around 2007-2008, with versions planned for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, and DS. A design document (dated September 25, 2007) and two DS builds (one dated September 26, 2008) were released on April 2, 2022. This page covers what seems to be the later prototype, though both of them appear to be identical.

Based on the design document only making a couple of small references to the Xbox 360 and omitting the DS entirely, it seems likely that the game was initially being pitched for Sony's platforms before branching out later on. More perplexingly, the game is supposedly based on a Curtis Hawkins screenplay of the same name, but neither Hawkins nor the play itself seem to actually exist.
