Recently we saw an entirely live-action video game from publisher Wales Interactive titled The Bunker. Now Wales is back with another live-action game, this time from developer CtrlMovie, titled Late Shift.
The game—or interactive experience, more of a movie and video game fused together—is a crime thriller written by Michael Robert Johnson, who’s worked on the screenplays for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, Pompeii, and Duncan Jones’ upcoming Mute. It features nearly 200 choices as you make your way through the story, each said to alter how things play out.
You can read more about the game and watch a trailer below.
If you are at all familiar with Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, then you might recall that screenwriter David Goyer had a hand in the scripts that created that particular world. While The Dark Knight was his only writing credit in that trilogy, he was credited with creating the stories for all three movies.
Now Goyer is setting his sights on directing an adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo using the same formula that was used on The Dark Knight.
