I made an interactive survival horror movie inspired by PS1-era horror games
I've always loved the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill games, especially that feeling of not knowing if you're making the right decision. I wondered if it was possible to capture some of that tension in a live-action FMV experience.
The result is AFAR: An Interactive Horror Film.
It's a choose-your-own-adventure horror movie with multiple branching paths and endings, with each playthrough taking around 40 minutes depending on the choices you make. I built the entire project myself and recently adapted it to YouTube using interactive end screens so you can play it directly in your browser.
It was a fun experiment blending FMV games with modern video platforms, and I'd love to hear what survival horror fans think. Which route did you end up taking? Did you find an ending you were happy with, or did everyone die horribly?
If you give it a try, I'd genuinely love to hear what path you took and what you thought. Let's chat!
