Just saw a tweet and watched the YouTube clip, reminds me those story books where you went to different pages depending on your decisions. |

It looks interesting, quite different than most anything available. It's basically a live action "choose your own path" format, certainly seems inspired by those books I loved as a kid; branching stories with multiple outcomes. Very much what Telltale did with their story style, and many RPG Adventure games also borrow the idea.
The live action has been utilized to varying degrees before, but this looks amazingly cinematic. I'm intregued by the implications. I imagine with the advent of VR & AR we'll be seing much more live action, realistic games - like in Ready Player One.

This one is really interesting to me! I love seeing actual live acting taking the stage once more in the world of games. As far as performance capture has come, it's still beaten by the real thing. And making that level of non-verbal communication part of interaction is a major sellingpoint for me.

It might be interesting to hear that Ian Livingstone who invented those choose-your-own-adventure books with Fighting Fantasy is our chairman and early investor  |

This is the series I had as a kid, talk about re-readable, different story nearly every time!  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure |

Yup, exactly the same series I had. I didn't realize they had so many. I only owned about 10 of them, but I must have read at least another 10 or so through the library. |
