A series of security cameras are connected to her PC, including her webcam, which follow her around her apartment as she moves. Almost the entire game is viewed via the computer desktop screen of lead character Loralyn (played by Julie Dray), a pregnant interpreter working a night shift. Night Book is presented like a found footage social media film, akin to the horror film Unfriended. A supernatural thriller that was created remotely across 3 different countries but does its best to ignore the pandemic in its narrative and design, it’s a weird trip down a branching storyline. Their next title, Night Book, is a very different beast. With Five Dates, they took the idea of love during lockdown and made a romantic comedy out of it. Good Gate Media, in collaboration with Wales Interactive, are one company that has found increasingly innovative ways to make entertaining FMV games during periods of lock down. They’ve had to either shut down or get creative. Games that traditionally need a crew of film makers and games designers have found themselves in the same situation as Hollywood studios. The FMV genre is one that has been hit the hardest. Delays, remote working, the cancellation of face to face industry events – for some, the way people make and market their games has been totally transformed. In the grand scheme of things, the way COVID-19 has impacted video games is small potatoes, but it’s a fact of the industry.

The pandemic and national lock downs of the past 18 months have been tough in a myriad ways that I’m sure you don’t want reminding of here. A supernatural thriller in the form of a found footage interactive movie, Night Book is a great way to spend an evening.
