Gamasutra: In the run up to its launch, indie FMV mystery game Her Story gave the impression that it would do fairly well. It was relatively inexpensive, it was different, and there was almost as much mystery about how it would play as to the central mystery of its story. It was clear it was using footage of an actual actor and the trappings of a police interview, but exactly how all of this fit into the framework of a game wasn’t entirely clear.
Talking to Sam Barlow, Her Story’s director, he didn’t find this ambiguity to be a negative.
BLG writes, "Her Story is the first game created independently by game creator Sam Barlow. Sam would start Half-Mermaid Studios, expanding his scope and narrative on each subsequent project. But it’s his first independent adventure, Her Story, that left an impression on gamers and the industry as a whole."
Her Story developer Sam Barlow says he was offered "exposure" to put his game in Tesla's cars, and Untitled Goose Game's publisher has a similar story.
Doesnt seem like a good idea. Maybe if its locked while driving but someone would find a way to unlock it.
FMV games may not be the hippest or most popular games in the world, but there's always a place for them.
