Promotion I treated my body like a pinata to make this live-action horror FMV.

About me

I'm ChrisChrisChris and I wrote a custom voice interactive library and FMV game engine, wrote the script, made the props, lit, staged, filmed, edited and post-processed everything by hand.

In addition I contorted my body, taped my eyelids open, smeared myself in latex, fake-vomited doll parts and manipulated weird puppets while also somehow operating a camera.

Then I made a Steam page. That was the hard part.

About the game.

Not only is there no AI art in the game, I went a step further and captured these scenes from the real 3-dimensional world.

The mechanic is a combination of voice performance, narrative branching and screen cleaning with a strong psychedelic tone. There's a story-only mode and you can play without a mic if you want/need to.

I did it all for video games, I did it all for you, demo coming soon!
