BulkyPix's 'Hysteria Project' Interactive Movie Now Available

2_hysteriaBulky Pix has released their interactive movie adventure Hysteria Project [App Store Link] that we previewed in February.

The game begins with the premise that you find yourself tied up by a strange cabin, and your job is to escape and stay alive. The game is a series of video clips tied together with multiple choice decision points and plays like a choose-your-own-adventure. The developer's video shows the gameplay in action:

The initial "pilot" episode is said to offer 30-40 minutes of play and is available for $1.99 and the rest of the story will arrive in subsequent episodes.

Fortunately, players can continue at the last decision branch before their demise. This avoids the need to restart from the beginning of the story to make a different choice. Early impressions have been rolling-in in a discussion thread.

The video/audio production is of high quality, but some of the early criticisms of the game is understandably related to the simple multiple-choice gameplay.

    Only way episodic content stays viable is if the episodes are released at regular expected intervals and without too much delay between episodes, so as to promote watercooler talk. Having a rough schedule gives them something to look forward to. Waiting till the sales of each episode drop before releasing the next killed off these games in the console industry.

    Never mind the fact that Apple took over a month to approve this. These devs are going to have to monitor these games like a hawk.

    This seems kinda like a mix between rebel assault and Dragon's Lair/Space Ace or one of the Sega CD games using video but notably higher quality video. Always the problem with chose your own adventures is creating multiple trees and pathing. I just can't see anyone making enough interactivity to revive the interactive video genre.

    If you like this app, another good one is Alternate Endings that I got a few months ago. Same idea with the interactive live-action concept, but it's a comedy with a lot of different endings.

    Sounded fantastic. I have it and it crashes within 30 seconds- where is the support for this game? I have rebooted and synced by 16G Ipod repeatedly with no effect except now it crashed after the intor screen. The "help" is pretty useless too.
