Interactive Film: The Act

so apparently throughout this "movie" (game), you see what happens and outcomes based on the emotion you choose the main character to have, and that is it. at least so far. It seems like a branching path game in the vein of Dragon's Lair. It's unclear whether there is only one set path based on one correct choice (with and "endgame" or "death animation ala Space Ace/ Dragon's Lair) , or if your emotions that you choose gives you different fully realized paths.

It looks very impressive. It's good to still see 2D animation (well-done at that) in this age of big 3D films. Looks like alot of great talent behind it as well. Reminds me of Indigo Prophecy, just uh, minus the rythm-based sequences. "Filmgame?" Sounds pretty cool.

It looks very interesting. Pity it's going to be a coin-operated game. I don't think that that sort of interactive story works at all well like that. The only other game I can think of that even tried was Thayer's Quest, which was really just a novelty in the arcades.

Novelty is what best describes this game. Agree with that. Though those kind of game's were still fun.
