This is a short interactive movie based on the BBC drama series Our World War. It tells the story of a young corporal that is trying to keep his men alive during the attack on High Wood which was part of the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The story is split into three acts and during each the movie stops twice and asks the player what should be done next. The alternatives are shown on screen and the player has to quickly pick one before a timer runs out. Choices made affects what will happen next. At the end of an act the player is presented with feedback on the decisions made during the act. There are three categories of feedback each which the player gets a score in: tactics, morale and leadership. Tactics is based on what would have been military correct and what a real soldier of 1916 would have done. Morale is how the choices have affected the mood of the other soldiers. Leadership is an average of tactics and morale for each act and is an cumulative score that builds up over the three acts. Between acts it is also possible to watch animated comic sequences that tell the back story about the characters. |
