You're not playing a character model; you're directing a real movie with actors. The decisions you make have a real impact on what happens next. There are eight unique endings. The plot is engaging and suspenseful, with some good twists. For an interactive movie, the performances and overall quality are solid. How you treat other characters affects your relationships with them and changes the story. It's about the length of a movie, so it's easy to play in one sitting. This makes it much faster to see all the different endings on repeat playthroughs.

Now, in London, news breaks of a blood-vomiting civilian whose identity is far from coincidental. Reunited with an old friend, Amy is trapped in an impenetrable HQ of laboratories—a womb of scientific advancement with a perilous secret.

User Reviews
Omg! This game was so entertaining. It's cheesy, campy, funny, sad, interesting, dramatic, and entertaining all in one. I LOVED it. I don't know why it has such a low rating. I'm glad to see its going up again. I definitely think Wales Interactive makes the best FMV games. They play like movies but with choices that can dictate the outcome of the ending. I'm happy because the ending that I got was bittersweet. I do feel bad for what happened to certain characters as a result of my choices. Usually I don't like playing these types of games multiple times through but this one made me really curious about what would have happened if I had picked other choices. Well done, Wales Interactive! Well done! Looking forward to more of this title.
I got the game on what? 90% or 95% sale and for that? Sure recommendable However, at the end of the day it's like playing "a reallife movie" for around 1 1/2 hours. I personally don't feel like my choices made much of a difference (after so far 2 playthroughs) except for the achievements and the ending. There's definitely much, much better story-choices matter games out there for around the same price that offer more content. The movie itself is "eh", alright I guess. Wasn't bad, just didn't really get me hooked either.
Can't be bothered finishing it, every time i play i have to re watch around 7 mins of unskippable FMV, if there is a save point notification then ive never seen it, must be a blink and you miss it type thing, badly designed game

Game was okay, takes about 3 hours to see 100% of content. I bought it on sale, wouldn't recommend at full price
