Description
Cam conducts his entire life from his electronically automated smart-home. Work, shopping, entertainment and most notably: socialising. Cam interacts with strangers on the platform Hello Stranger : a randomised video chatting application. Eventually, he encounters a masked stranger with an altered voice. Unnerved, Cam leaves the call only to find the stranger has hacked his smart-home and locked him in. The Stranger tells Cam that he must win three rounds of games or it is ‘game over’. Viewers must make decisions and play the 3 games for Cam to survive but one wrong choice could lead to a grisly end. This FMV psychological horror-thriller game features: Choice-based mechanics and mini-games including 10 unique endings. Two story modes: - Cinema Mode : Limited games that only function with decision-making system – closer to an interactive film experience. - Game Mode : All games available with a variety of gameplay systems – a full FMV game experience.
