I really loved Her Story, so I was excited to hear that the same creator was working on a new FMV game. Unfortunately, #WarGames did nothing for me.
It's a story about a group of hackers using their skills for activism, with an extremely large dose of heavy-handed social commentary. Several video streams play simultaneously and the story seems to branch based on which stream you focused on at specific moments by hovering your mouse cursor over them. There's no real indication as to what might have happened differently had you focused on a different video, or even why watching one screen should affect anything, given that you have no direct interaction with the scenes.
Maybe I missed something, but there also doesn't appear to be a strong throughline between the stories - just a collection of generally unrelated events about hacktivism.
