Danganronpa Creator Releasing FMV Game | Game Rant
Death Come True is the FMV horror game written and directed by Danganronpa's Kazutaka Kodaka. And while the wacky Danganronpa came to mobile last, this unique FMV game came to mobile-first and will be making its way to Steam soon.
Unlike the best horror games of all time, which are based on 3D modeling, FMV games are filmed. Made popular in the 1990s as way to make beautiful graphics with the tech available at the time, FMV, or full-motion video games, has mostly fallen out of favor. But with some amazing titles like 7th Guest and Phantasmagoria from the 90s and the more modern Her Story and Late Shift, FMV is not dead, and Kazutaka Kodaka seems determined to prove it.
As the first game from Kodaka’s studio Too Kyo Games, Death Come First is a creepy sci-fi mystery. Already released on mobile and Switch in June of 2020, this thriller is dropping onto Steam on the 17th of July and PlayStation 4 later on in the year.
Death Come True is a completely different game than Danganronpa. The Death Come True story begins as a young man wakes in a hotel room with no memories and a woman he doesn't know. Although the news broadcast in the hotel room claims he's a wanted serial killer, he can't remember a thing, so he and the mystery woman team up to find the secrets hidden in the hotel, all while trying to avoid dying at the hands of the monster hiding in the halls.
But the real secret to the game's unique draw is the choices. Each choice a player makes not only influences the endings, but can be previewed with little screen-in-screen hints. Even deaths come with rewards; players unlock in-game videos with each death. This type of old-school technology combined with unique story-telling and new-gen technology is redefining horror games.
This month is going to be a big deal for horror fans, and not just because of Death Come True. Horror gamers are finally going to get Maid of Sker that is releasing this month as well as some great news from Dying Light.
Death Come True will be available for Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4.
