Will Nick be the hero who shows the public that we are all the playthings of the wealthy? Does he end up falling in love with the woman who’s been making eyes at him since the airplane? Can anyone really say that they wouldn’t kill a bunch of strangers to become comfortably rich? I mean, I hope that last one isn’t rhetorical and we can all answer “no,” but the Internet is a wild place. Airdropped onto an unknown and untrackable island, Nick must form alliances, gather supplies, and make quick decisions to ensure that he survives long enough to expose the dark and ugly truth of Kill/Stream. You play the brooding protagonist, Nick, who is a former movie star that now finds himself on the show for noble reasons that may or may not be revealed to you as soon as you start the game. The latest, Bloodshore, seems almost formulaic to a fault, which leads to the question: who exactly is this for?īloodshore treads zero new grounds in terms of storyline and plot points, though several are basically screamed at the player to ensure that you get the “nuance.” Kill/Stream is a murderous reality show that’s been around for over a decade, in which contestants must outwit and ultimately outlive each other for a chance at fame and fortune. Perhaps it’s the lasting imprint of these titles that encouraged Wales Interactive to keep taking a chance on these movies-as-games that have trotted onto the stage in the last few years. Sure, we’ve seen bits and bobs get recognition and accolades, from the surprisingly deep Black Dahlia to the controversy and pearl clutching that Sewer Shark inspired so long ago. One thing that’s never really caught on, though, are the FMVs, or full motion video games. From massive scale titles to budget indie one-offs, we’ve seen the tantalizing evidence of real creativity and craftsmanship seep out of every corner of the world.

The winner receives a life-changing cash prize of £100m, and becomes the biggest star on the planet. Run by The Corporation, it is the highest-grossing form of entertainment in history, streamed globally to billions. In the not-so-distant future, where the divide between the rich and the poor has never been wider, Kill/Stream is the hottest reality TV show on the planet. This follows a deadly televised battle royale between high-profile streamers, entertainers, and death row inmates, and features eight hours of FMV footage, the most Wales Interactive has ever produced. Wales Interactive, acclaimed for its FMV games, narrative-driven stories, and interactive movies, have revealed Bloodshore a brand new title from the producers of The Complex and Five Dates.
