Bank run, an interactive movie

bankrun1.jpg

I had mixed feelings when i finished my visit to this site this morning, because in the end i was asked to pay USD 2$ (i was willing to) to continue the story but i couldn't because i don't have an american iTunes Store account (mine is from Spain), so i felt really frustrated.

On the other side, i thought about the fact that i had happily spent the previous 15 minutes browsing this violent yet funny interactive movie called Bank Run that tells the story of Evan, a financial analyst that gets involved in a scam organized by the company he works for, his girlfriend kidnapped and, in general, all the film cliches from movies where the main character has to escape from something and not knowing why.

Really well done and with little interactions that breaks the linearity of the story without becoming a "game" itself, this project from Silk Tricky is definitely worth the 15 minutes i spent being there. Go take a look, and the story continues on iPhone, hope you let me know how it ends! :)

The price of the "Bank Run" iPhone app is only $1.99, not $20. Give it a try.

thx Freddy, but it wasn't a price issue (i updated the post with the right price, thx!) but because it's not available in the iTunes store of my country :)

At first when you said you spent the time playing the game I thought, what could be so compelling, but the uniqueness made it fun.

Sure to be a hot concept for the short term, as more companies do it though it may loose some draw. Thanks for the link.
