Скачать или смотреть ZapDramatic's "Move or Die" episode 1, silly playthrough thing

(a.k.a. "How to Survive a Road Trip to Grandmother's House")

This is my first attempt at uploading something longer than 15 minutes. Chiller326 doubted that this game would be goofy enough for Retsupurae to make fun of, so I decided to make my own video for anyone who was curious to see what was in the game but didn't have time to play through it themselves. It does make "Sir Basil Pike Public School" even funnier when you can recognize characters from this.

I think what may make this game more interesting is the statement on the ZapDramatic site that this was going to be a six-episode TV mini-series that would "bridge television and the internet", and that each TV episode would "end in tragedy", forcing viewers to go online to replay an interactive version to save the day. I find it hilarious to imagine average folks watching animation like this on primetime TV, only to see bad endings every week and wonder "Is this some kind of Aeon Flux thing?" if they don't have hours to spend on the Internet retrying every dialog tree branch. But hey, Michael Gibson did manage to rope some actual talent like Danny Michel and Jackie Burroughs into contributing to this, and it did win some kind of award at some technology fair, so this may be ZapDramatic at its least incompetent here!

That's why I tried to be thorough in the House of Grimm chapter, so you could hear every line recorded by the late Jackie Burroughs. I couldn't be so thorough with the first half, since there are just so many ways the conversations could go, and it gets so tedious to replay, especially since you can't skip the "hauling the body into the car" sequence when you're on the bad story path. But I did catch a lot of weird bugs in the coding, which you can't blame most of on Michael Gibson this time, as Nigel Hudson is credited as the Flash programmer for this one.

Then at the end I made a teaser thing where you get to see my limited editing skills in VideoPad! =D

There was a version of this uploaded to Newgrounds, but it's a demo that ends before you get to Mrs. Grimm's and with most of the interactivity stripped out until you get to the van, so if you want real reviews, look at http://www.zapdramatic.com/modreview.htm and http://www.zapdramatic.com/mod.htm.
