Welcome to r/interactivecinema. This is a subreddit for games of the genre of Interactive Cinema. These are games which focus on character development as well as the storyline and an ending which can be impacted based upon your decisions. These games are characterized by such features as; Quick time events, simple-moderate gameplay mechanics, choice making and other such features. Interactive Cinema only really focuses on the story and is not focused on having intricate gameplay mechanics. What makes this genre of gaming different from other games is the fact that you impact the ending and that your choices matter. Your decisions impact the characters and their physical and mental well-being and you follow a storyline but ultimately decide it's fate.

This subreddit is for you to discuss theories about any characters in any of these kind of games as well as discussions of story lines. You can discuss the episodes (if the game features them) as well and discuss the chapters.

This subreddit is also for posting anything in relation to it, such as; news or fan art. All fan art is welcome and encouraged as well, get creative if you want! This subreddit will also be posting information on upcoming releases of any of these type of games or even demos of games that may be being developed. You are also welcome to post any technological advances in these games (e.g, improved motion caption for a more interesting and amazing experience) as well.

When discussing any game's episodes in the discussion threads, you can implement the use of spoiler tags if you want to, for example if an ending you got isn't the only ending and you do not want to discourage another player.

You can use it with the tag:

[spoiler] (#s "SPOILER HERE)

(Make sure to add speech marks before and after the spoiler within the brackets, the result will look like this: spoiler)

Has anyone heard of Wales Interactive?

I've been looking into interactive cinema as a genre to see who's doing it well and I stumbled across these guys:

https://www.walesinteractive.com/games-film

Looks like they can serve up these interactive films across Steam/Xbox/PS5/etc. I'm curious to pay, but would love to hear if anyone has played these before and how it was before I spend any money.
