The Room of FMV games. Sometimes unintentionally hilarious, but mostly just bad.

Campy writing and over-the-top acting that had me laughing all the way through, exactly what you expect and want from a game inspired by Contradiction! Spot The Liar. Will come back and 100% the achievements, but absolutely love the cast, love the writing, and love how it was shot too. Great way to spend an evening and share over discord with a few friends.

well what can i say here, its certainly a different type of game i would normally play . I wouldn't normally play this type of game, there's not much out there at this time of year, so when I came accross this one I thought why not give it ago. i'm pleased i did ,I did find it hard to work out at times but fumbled along , I ended up enjoying it . The story to it was great it certainly had me thinking ,which is good for this old 76 year old lol,Its a great game with a fantastic story to it, I didnt want it to end .Thanks for making it and hope you make more like it .

Strange happenings and mysterious entities intrude the life of a grieving Dean Hamilton, turning it upside down, when his two children suddenly disappear. Hammy acting makes this seem like a student art project or a "so bad its good" low budget short film. Preposterous plots and incongruent character reactions persist throughout the experience, but to me it adds a certain charm to this FMV mystery story. The game uses the very small area of Marywine well to advance puzzles. Unfortunately the plot advances in a fast and furious pace with a lot of exposition happening quite early on, not really allowing you to enjoy its development. All in all a fun interactive experience with a few branching options to explore in replay.
