'The Complex' (ALL) Gets Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 6, 2020 @ 2:51 p.m. PST

The Complex is a cinematic FMV sci-fi thriller with choose-your-own-adventure style gameplay.

After a major bio-weapon attack on London, two scientists find themselves in a locked-down laboratory with time, and air, running out. With over 100 interactive choices, you will attempt to escape the lab with several different endings that are discovered based on your decisions and your relationships with other characters.

Having treated the victims of a chemical attack in the totalitarian state of Kindar, Dr Amy Tenant (Michelle Mylett) is a leader in the advancement of Nanocell Technology. Now, in London, news breaks of a blood-vomiting civilian whose identity is far from coincidental. Reunited with an old friend, Amy is trapped in an impenetrable HQ of laboratories—a womb of scientific advancement with a perilous secret.

Throughout the game you will interact with characters and — depending on your choices — will either strengthen or weaken your relationship. The relationship scores are calculated from the start right through to the very end and will affect certain scenarios as well as having major consequences in the concluding scenes.

For every decision you make, every interaction, your character’s personality is being tracked. At the end of each playthrough, you are rewarded with a Personality Score and a breakdown to see how you played the game. Discover the five basic dimensions of a personality; openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Which of those will your character play?


Key Features:

  • A completely live action, cinematic interactive sci-fi thriller, filmed in the UK.
  • Multi-optional storytelling with 8 different outcomes.
  • Real-time Relationship Status Tracking that influences the story as you play.
  • Real-time Personality Trait Tracking that evolves based on your choices.
  • Unlockable features include Skip Scene, Personality Assessment and a Hidden Event.
  • Featuring a Pause Choices option for improved audience participation during live streams.

The Complex is a female-driven production written by Lynn Renee Maxcy, part of the Emmy award-winning writing team from The Handmaid’s Tale, and stars Michelle Mylett (Letterkenny, Bad Blood), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones, The Witch) and Al Weaver (Grantchester). Actors also include Twitch streamer and Xbox UK presenter, Leah Viathan.

The Complex will release on PC/Mac (Steam), PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on March 31, 2020.
