Late Shift

I Love FMV game because it s very close that what movie can bring to us but have a more interactive part that make the whole game interesting. The story make us wonder what will happen next and the choices make us engaged until the end even if some choices dont make us feel that will not have big changes in the plot, other choices have more consequences. It was my first FMV and clearly not the last one!

What if you had the power to decide for Johnny or Billy in that Hollywood flick you saw recently? Would you have returned to the scene of the crime after successfully getting away the first time? Would you return home to get your grandfather's watch while murderous mobsters are looking for you? Tobias Weber's Late Shift allows you to make these choices.

Shot in London and released in 2016, the Swiss production is being called the first ever interactive film – the movie where you can be the hero. Remember those books when you were a kid? If Optimus Prime should just transform and roll out, go to page 84.If he should stay and fight Megatron, go to page 32. Well, Weber and his crew have brought the you-be-the-hero theme to the silver screen and your mobile device – and it is one very unique and game changing experience. What will amaze you the most is the seamlessness of the whole process. There are absolutely no pauses or lags while you are making your choices that would make it feel like a video game. The result is an authentic film viewing experience.

There are different kind of gamers. There are obviously also people who would never want to be (identified as) gamers. There are those who love games where it's all about shooting others (first person or not) - but there are also those (like me) who love games for the story they are telling. What better way to experience games like this then? Nothing I'd say, but that is a personal thing for everyone to decide.

Interactive games/movies like this do not require much "gaming" anyway. You decide something and then you see what your choice will lead to. Sometimes those choices do not matter much (the inciting incident at the beginning ... it almost doesn't matter how you react to it, it will lead you to the same place anyway), sometimes they do matter ... a lot of fun and a lot of choices, morally and otherwise! I played it quite a few times to get every possible ending ... I did not regret it at all (even if I watched some video cut scenes more than I care about) ...

I've always been interested in such interactive stories. Hope it turns out more valorized. I found "Late Shift" a good and solid piece. Nothing to complain about the acting. Actually liked very much the protagonist's. When it comes to the story progression itself and the story context though, I found it a little rushed and unnatural. Wished the mid choices thorought the story had more impact, but I understand all this takes lots of work. In terms of cinematics, from a guy who doesn't get a thing about it, found it nice; really felt like a tv movie. Entertaining indeed.

This Is a great concept and a very clever idea. It makes you more immersed in the story because you actually get to make a lot of the choices the main character are facing. The movie is shot beautifully and the acting is on point, much better than I expected. I have played/seen the movie two times now and i got two completely different stories and endings. And There are seven different endings so I will defiantly play/see this again sometime to discover another outcome.
