Whoa, where do I even start with this? So, FMV games—they’re kind of like those old choose-your-adventure books, right? But in video form. Yeah, they’ve been sneaking back onto the scene, like they’ve got something to prove. A bit like that time I found an old mixtape and realized some things just don’t go out of style. Anyway, this game called “Dead Reset” from Dark Rift Horror? It’s one of those FMV deals, and it’s giving me major “Aliens” vibes, not even kidding.
Okay, picture this: there’s this guy, Cole Mason. He’s a surgeon—just woke up on a space station floor. Like, what even? Talk about a weird Monday. An armed guard yanks him up, and next thing, he’s in a room with someone needing surgery. And, of course, there’s a gun pointed at him—you know, as you do. The whole vibe is like a choose-your-own-disaster story. Do you fight the guard, run, or just do the surgery? Spoiler: If you’re me, you end up in a horror show with aliens crashing the party. Oops.
But here’s the kicker—Cole’s stuck in a time loop. Yeah, he dies, and boom, wakes up on the floor again. It’s like one of those anxiety dreams where you’re late for an exam, but with aliens. I tried so many things. One time, I got his arm blown off. Ouch. Eventually, I found a path that didn’t end in immediate disaster—progress, I guess?
Now, about the actors. They’re giving it their all, which is nice. Makes you forget you’re, well, gaming. A few convos felt a bit too cozy, like how can Cole be this chummy with people he doesn’t know? It’s like they were speed-dating under alien duress. I get it, though. Time crunch and all. And the gore? Let’s just say it’s all there. Guts everywhere. And the alien? Seen from a distance, it’s not too cartoon-like. Up-close—it might’ve been another story.
Did I have fun? Completely. It’s like they let you peek behind the curtain just enough. Honestly, can’t wait to see where Cole’s time-twisting adventure takes him. Chewing all my nails here, waiting for this game to drop on the Nintendo Switch eShop. September 11th, mark it!
