    I got my wife tickets for the Titanic( her favourite film) live musical. It’s at Glasgow, so we will make a day and night of it. Never been to Scotland before. Also got her a Gin tasting experience at some place in Stourbridge

    Nicholls & Perks ?

    If it is, I believe they are one of, if not the oldest wine importer in the UK - their cellar is amazing - they have bottles or wine and liquor going back to the 1700’s.

    Ok. So I really liked it overall. 

    Format 
    New and different and intriguing in it's possibilities. Is this the start of a new genre? Or will it be a damp squib? I'm not sure but I'd definitely like to see more things like this.

    Style
    I grew up in the mid-eighties in the UK so the look/style was very familiar and I starting gaming on Commodores and Spectrums. Full marks for capturing the feeling of the era.

    Story
    I felt that it was somewhat simple compared to other Black Mirrors that Brooker has written but maybe the point was to not get too complicated. The most satisfying for me was when he goes back in time and gets on the train with his mom and then he dies in the future. All of the other 'endings' seemed a little weak to me - especially the multiple prison ones when his game gets reviewed in various different ways.

    Fun Bits
    The acid trip & the martial arts fight with his doctor. That was totally out of left field.

    Would love to see more of this style - I wonder if it can be 'large' enough to be really immersive and satisfying?

    I'm assuming you can go back, re-watch and make different choices as you go? 

    I'd kinda planned to make a note of mine as I went along then repeat with  different choices? 

    Don't want to say anything about it as it's a new format and don't want to impact anyones experience of it :thumb:

  4. Just watched the new Black Mirror 'interactive.'

    Pretty enjoyable and the first time I've ever see anything like it. I was definitely engrossed but somehow I was left a little ungratified. I think it's the not knowing if you got the 'best' or 'right' result/ending.
