![]() ![]() Among our primary cast there’s a wannabe influencer, a couple of video game streamers, a rather suspicious survival vlogger, and a conspiracy-nut podcaster. The contestants on Kill/Stream consist of a predictable mix of vloggers, streamers, D-list celebrities, with a few convicted serial killers thrown in the mix for funsies. (At this point, you are likely asking why the game isn’t titled “Kill/Stream.” I’m guessing that it’s because another FMV game – Killing Stream, from Iron Wolf Studio – is scheduled for release in 2022.) Much is made of the streaming event in Bloodshore, with the action on the island frequently cutting to audience members and pundits around the world, commenting on the ongoing broadcast and reacting to events. The battle for survival is instantly broadcast 24/7 on the internet worldwide as Kill/Stream, a well-known and very popular annual event. Or at least strategically avoid being killed by the other contestants to the point where they are the last person standing. ![]() Their mission, after spending the first night getting to know each other and sharing a few beers, is to kill everyone else on the island. In a not-so-distant future (or maybe an alternate universe), 50 thrill- and attention-seeking volunteers jump out of an airplane and parachute down to a deserted island. The setup for Bloodshore is familiar and simple. There was one point during playing that my wife and I looked at each other, muttering things like, “Good lord,” and, “Jeeeeeez…”-but in a positive way. There are a couple of “money shot” moments in Bloodshore that are beyond graphic, in all of their low-budget glory. One of my favorite things about Wales Interactive and Goodgate Media’s interactive films is their willingness to “go there.” Like the horror games the company regularly releases, the new interactive action film Bloodshore doesn’t hesitate to barrel straight into blood and gore, with some fairly gnarly violent sequences that will either satisfy, or induce cringing from, late-night action fans. ![]()
