Another FMV game, Deathtrap Dungeon: The Golden Room, was announced and Deathtrap Dungeon will be using some familiar tech to help tell the story
There certainly were more FMV-style video games to show up during this year’s E3 and here we go with one more out there for next year with Deathtrap Dungeon: The Golden Room. This would be one more that will be coming out of Wales Interactive to give us more playable movies to enjoy on all of our gaming systems out there. They do know how to make them work and flow, and now we have at least two to look forward to now. With one of the differences with Deathtrap Dungeon being that we are not seeing it all recorded remotely for our enjoyment but with some of the new technology used to film some of our favorite shows and films as of late. Only this time it is being used for a video game and we can try to dictate how it will all work in the end. If all goes to plan, that is.
Beyond all of that and the slight teaser we have for Deathtrap Dungeon here, there is not much more to go on as of yet. The story seems to revolve around a female adventurer that needs to survive all of the deathtraps that the title suggests and we will have to select the actions to perform during the game to make sure she does not die along the way. Deathtrap Dungeon looks to have some fantasy and ancient style lore and set designs to it all from what we can see here, but given the way it was all captured, that could be changed on the fly too. I am kind of hoping that it does so that it plays with expectations and then delivers something we could not have expected as of yet. We will only have to wait and see for now, though. Have a look and get ready to wait until 2022 to get in on it all.
