Introduction
Cinema games are also called full motion video games. These games have
recorded cinematic visuals. Here are 7 Great Cinema Games
1. Detroit: Become Human
Detroit takes place in the near future. The plot centers on androids who have become self-aware. Some organized an uprising and began to demand equal rights with people, others decided to flee the country. There are three main characters, their stories constantly intersect, and the fate of the others often depends on the actions of one.
The player here very often has to make choices that affect the development of the plot. The developers have created thousands of scenes and about 40 endings. To see them all, you will have to spend dozens of hours.
2. The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is one of Telltale’s main works. The game tells the story of people surviving a zombie apocalypse . They have to look for food, defend against the living dead and interact with each other.
As in the series of the same name, the biggest danger here is people. They betray, go crazy and make mistakes that cause others to die. And the player must periodically make decisions in hopeless situations. But no matter how hard he tries, someone will still die – this world is cruel.
3. Life is Strange
A girl named Max, living in a small American town, suddenly discovers that she has the ability to rewind time. From that moment on, strange and creepy things begin to happen to her. With the help of her new power and a couple of loyal friends, she manages to save several people from death, as well as unravel the case of the kidnapping of a student.
Player choice in Life is Strange is not that important: every playthrough here will be more or less the same. The main thing in the game is the plot and characters. This is a story about those things that worry modern teenagers, and about the fact that sooner or later they have to answer for their actions.
4. Until Dawn
At first glance, Until Dawn may seem like a typical horror story about students who went on a fun weekend away from civilization and ended up in a deadly place with maniacs and monsters. But the core story is only a small part of the game.
The thing about Until Dawn is that the player often has to make decisions, any of which can have unexpected consequences. It is impossible to predict in advance which of the eight heroes will survive and what the ending will be. You’ll have to experiment with different scenarios. The main thing is to remember that death in this game can await you at every turn.
5. Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy
This dramatic thriller is set in New York City. The city is shaken by a mysterious series of murders committed by ordinary people who temporarily lose their minds. The poor guys become possessed and kill random passers-by on the street.
The game is the founder of the interactive cinema genre and actively uses such techniques as non-linear dialogues and time limits for decision making. All this, together with the soundtrack of the great composer Angelo Badalamenti, creates an indescribable atmosphere and immerses you in what is happening on the screen.
6. Late Shift
6. Late Shift
Student Matt, working as a night watchman in a London car park, finds himself embroiled in a major robbery. His task is to survive and not do anything stupid, so that by the end of the adventure he will not have problems with gangsters or the law.
Unlike the other projects in this collection, Late Shift is a real film with live actors. The creators filmed several hundred scenes that add up to dozens of unique stories. And the player’s actions affect not only the fate of the heroes, but also which of the seven endings he will receive.
7. The Wolf Among Us
The Wolf Among Us takes place in the Fables comic book universe, where characters from children’s fairy tales live side by side with people. The plot centers on Bigby Wolf, a werewolf sheriff investigating a string of murders.
The player periodically makes decisions – both small and large. For example, which of the two criminals to rush after. The outcome of an action is influenced not only by the choice of option, but also by the speed of decision-making. Some things you simply may not have time to do, so you have to be careful.
