It’s just two people in the woods making a game.

Amusing alternative to graphics using video cameras.

The middle third of the game is annoying as you get lost and are endlessly subjected to the same two videos of a ‘left path’ or ‘right path’.Īt £1.19 it’s almost worth a punt for curious gamers who’d like to see something a bit different and as an interesting example of what it could develop into with future budget games. The game also crashed on me a few times, just shutting down the PSP. The blurry picture is forgivable, but this isn’t. There are many cases of the sound playing first on a blank screen for ten seconds or so, followed by the film footage without the sound as they’ve been completely torn apart.

While I loved the basic simplicity of the idea of filming the game as a cheap alternative to forking out on graphics, the tight compression hasn’t been kind to the game. It only really gets tough right at the end, which is less than an hour away. Occasionally you’re asked to press X or O, usually to move some branches or climb over a tripwire. If you choose the wrong one you’re getting an axe in the skull, which means you’ll have to replay the last few choices to try again. You’re really just selecting which video to play next. Your input ranges from a choice you need to make such as cutting the tape that’s binding your wrists or look around the room, go left or right, hide or move on. You get the feeling this is an idea they had and shot all in the same afternoon before rushing back to the office and splicing in some quick time events. The ‘story’ is simple, escape from captivity and get out of the woods before the hooded axe murderer catches you. Everything is shot on camera with no real graphics to speak of.

This ‘interactive (college student-esque) movie’ has you playing as a potential murder victim from a first-person perspective. The video footage is blurry on the small screen but in fairness, as a Minis title it has to be a small file size and it’s a lot of footage compressed into 80MB.
