Virginia: first thriller game in first person

Virginia: First Thriller Game in First Person

After the good comments that have been collected with the cryptic and disturbing Virginia demo, the next thing you can see of the game is a new trailer that stands out for its cinematic performance. Captured from the game in real time, the trailer offers a new opportunity to see Virginia on the move, in some beautiful settings and with memorable characters that Players will get to know while playing this unique interactive thriller.

Directed by game creators Burroughs and Terry Kenny, VIRGINIA takes a shockingly unconventional approach to telling its story, with a cinematic editing - the fundamental language of movies and TV - in the context of a real-time gaming experience. Techniques such as cuts, skip breaks, montages, and image merges, common in moving images, are seldom used in games unless they are just scene cuts. VIRGINIA is on a different path, broadening the idea of a first-person adventure, introducing cinema directly into the game mode.

VIRGINIA's cinematic inspirations extend to its redefinition of the genre. VIRGINIA evokes the ambiguous stories of David Lynch, the unforgettable characters of the Silence of the Lambs and the striking art direction of Darío Argento. VIRGINIA creates a wave of renewed interest in 90s science fiction and horror shows, ranking among the returning classics of the past like Twin Peaks and The X-Files and new arrivals like the critically acclaimed new S tranger Things series.

A bold experiment in telling a story, VIRGINIA offers mystery and drama like never before seen in a video game.

VIRGINIA will launch via digital download on September 22 for Sony PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system and Microsoft Xbox One®, and Windows PC and Apple macOS via Steam.

The demo for Steam for PC and macOS is available.
