DEFINITION OF CINEGAMES

Recoil Games is pioneering a new category in the action-adventure genre called Cinegames - a fusion of emotional human drama and epic movie-like settings. Recoil focuses on creating realistic characters that react to the chaos unfolding around them in a convincing and gripping way.

In current video games only a slice of human emotions is portrayed and themes often revolve around aggression and revenge. Recoil aims to include a full range of emotions in its games; from love to hate, bravery and despair to happiness and loss.

The traditional video game protagonist is a lone adventurer. The Cinegames concept is a more dynamic approach, with large casts of characters that the player interacts and co-operates with, and with different challenges that require collaborative efforts to be overcome.

The players are put into very challenging situations where they are forced to make difficult, morality-laden decisions. These decisions have a direct impact not only on how the cast perceives the lead character, but on how the player will collectively overcome the challenges he/she will face.

Cataclysmic themes set the stage for interesting human drama to emerge. In extreme situations, peoples' true personalities are revealed and emotions amplified. The concept of Cinegames merges together the intensity of film with the interactivity of games in a novel, dynamic way.
