There is no other game quite like Immortality. On the surface it looks like another interactive film (okay, a collection of them), but it has gameplay mechanics and a narrative that are absolutely unique. It also marks Sam Barlow’s first horror game since Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (2009). Barlow’s name has been tied to FMV masterpieces since Her Story (2015),…

Read MoreIf your estranged daughter was missing and likely in danger, what would you be willing to do in an attempt to save her? This question is the backbone of The Isle Tide Hotel, the latest FMV game from Wales Interactive. Yes, Wales Interactive does more than FMV games, though the…
Read MoreThe Isle Tide Hotel is Wales Interactive’s latest FMV title. It was originally supposed to launch in Q2 2023, but it bumped back slightly and will now be launching in September (Q3). No bother; that’s really not much more of a wait for what I believe from experience will be…
Read MoreAs I do with FMV games, I’ve had my eye on Mia and the Dragon Princess since it was announced last year. This one is a pretty straightforward interactive film with branching narratives. It’s made by two of the heavy hitters in contemporary FMV gaming, Wales Interactive and Good Gate…

Wales Interactive has provided me many, many hours of amusement, thoughtfulness, and action through the FMV games it’s developed/published. Especially its interactive films. I’m talking about games like Late Shift and The Complex, that are more films that games…
Read MoreEvery now and then, a game pops up that I practically salivate over the mere idea of. That was Murderous Muses to me. Ever since its announcement, I’ve been hooked on the idea of an art gallery plus murder mystery plus FMV goodness. That’s a lot for a game to…

Read MoreWhen Five Dates – one of the first (if not THE first) FMV games filmed and made 100 per cent remotely during quarantine – came out, it was at a time people were craving human interaction. It scratched that itch quite well despite those being fictional interactions. Its sequel, Ten…
Read MoreIt has been months (yes, plural) since Ten Dates was announced, so it’s about time we finally get a proper announcement trailer for it! It’s properly timed to really hype up players, though, so the wait was absolutely worth it. I was obsessed with its predecessor, Five Dates, when it…
Read MoreWhen someone talks about FMV games (which doesn’t happen nearly enough in my day-to-day life), one of the first things that comes to mind is Wales Interactive. The developer/publisher has made many of my favourite FMV games/interactive movies, including The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker and Who Pressed Mute on…
