In this “Choose Your Own Adventure”-styled film, you control James, the man in the khakis. Can you guide him and his companions to safety, or will your flesh be eaten alive in a new, innovative and interactive movie experience created by Chris and Lynn Lund? Find out at survivetheoutbreak.com.
Also, just for you all, I placed a little hint under the cut.
Don’t take the dirt bike.
This game gets a little monotonous, but it’s a neat concept. I really wish it was smart enough to mix it up some. Kinda like a super-smart CYOA book.
Just remember, Brady, that filming a movie takes more time and is much more of a collaborative effort than just writing a book. Things like complete control may have had to be sacrificed for — as an example — time or budgetary reasons, or even creative differences. If you wanted your character to take a shotgun with you, scenes would have had to be filmed with James carrying the gun, and then not carrying the gun, as well as an entire storyline to cover that single action.
Not to mention the cost of the film crew and talent to take the extra time to do all that.
I think I forgot to write a review to the site as I’d meant to, but you basically hit on the head my wishes for the thing.
Maybe a producer with a bigger budget could create an actual half-hour CYOA film. But even then, it might cost whatever production company that does it the cost of filming three or more movies at once. (Like they did with Lord of the Rings.)
