First game of 2024 under my belt.
Mia works as bar staff where during the course of her shift she meets a mysterious woman who brings a great deal of danger into her world.
A short fmv game that relies on the player going back to try for different paths to fill in some gaps in the story.
It feels a little like they’re going for big trouble in little China meets the Goonies in terms of vibes. However with a clearly small budget they have to cut a lot of corners and perhaps they should have ditched the treasure hunting/fantastical aspect and had a more straightforward action narrative as the fight sequences are the highlight of this fmv game.
It’s quite camp and has some funny one liners but it’s hard to recommend this unless you’re a dedicated fmv fan and even then I’d say look for it in a sale as there’s not much on offer for your money.
It’s a fun night in but I doubt it’ll last long in the memory after.

Meet the spartans death scenes

Cool martial arts fights and it doesn't take itself too seriously, though it's a pretty basic and forgettable FMV game overall.

The dialogue is... not good, the acting ranges from OK to... not OK, the production values are pretty low, and the story didn't make a dent with me.

The story choices had a little more variation than I expected so it's at least worth playing through 2 or 3 times, but there's also not enough interest here to keep players coming back for long.

All the same, I can't deny I enjoy these FMV games from Wales Interactive even when they're often not that great. Glad to see them keeping the genre alive.
