At the beginning of October, D’Avekki Studios released a demo for the PC version of Dark Nights with Poe and Munro. I knew something was up — why would you release a demo for a game that is years old? — but I didn’t know what. The studio’s fourth and…
You may be thinking I’ve lost my mind. “Lindsay, writing about a…
Video game adaptations of gamebooks are common enough but those with FMV…
Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m obsessed with FMV games. Like… obsessed. 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…

Every 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…

There are few words to describe how excited I am for Murderous Muses, but I’ll try. When I think of all the games coming out this year, and even beyond, it is what I want the most. I feel a deep pull towards it. I need it in my life.…

Wales Interactive is easily one of the greater FMV game publishing companies right now; very little is released that I don’t want to get my hands on as soon as humanly possible. Once I do, I play them. Repeatedly. Generally, at least five times, then however many times it takes…

Square Enix is one of those companies that I tend to trust (at least, until the company starts doing NFTs) so I was beyond excited to learn it was publishing an FMV whodunnit, The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story. It combines FMV with a puzzle-like scenario required to solve every…
