Ordesa - the interactive movie 12+

It’s different that’s for sure, and I think ‘dubbed from another language into English’ as lips and words aren’t in sync. Don’t know how it can be described as a ‘game’ as there is no game and zero interaction other than tilting your screen to move the scene from side to side. It’s really a short film that instead of watching it on a wide screen TV, you move the screen and stop when you see a door. The door creaks open and then you’re transported to another scene and on it goes.
I still have no idea what it was all about. At the end there’s a button alongside the rolling credits that says you can revisit scenes to find out more ‘secrets’ but I couldn’t be bothered. Was glad when it all came to and end.
The ‘haunted house’ wasn’t at all creepy, although appeared haunted, the acting was good enough and the soundtrack in keeping with the atmosphere.
This kind of genre would come into its own if you could examine items, become more immersed in the story and actually have to work it out to move on.

Thanks for your feedback and for watching Ordesa. By tilting your phone we want you to feel like a ghost. It’s you who haunt the house. Your movements can impact the way that Lise memories but you don’t change the story. What you change is only what you see, the frame but also the succession of scenes and in that’s way you impact your spectator exeperience and the tension you feel while watching the film. As you said it’s different, it’s not really a game not really a movie, it’s a sensory experience. And the original langage is French, sorry for the synchronization bug.

I was Intrigued by its title/description and thought it worthy of a small fee to satisfy my intrigue, but what is this?
A game? Only if you want to play a game with no real control?
A movie? No.

It could be, however, the very beginning of where this kind of entertainment might go, but outside of VR, this doesn't work on a mobile platform yet.

Congratulations to the team for putting it together tho, its shot beautifully, the sound design is world class and the story is intriguing.

Simply tilting your device left or right to scroll the image with absolutely no control over what happens isn't needed. Its coded to react to your input at a given shot in the frame. You have no other choice.

It doesn't feel interactive. You simply trigger the scene when you tilt to the right spot.
It DOES however, make you feel slightly sick at this frame rate. Limiting the amount of time you stick with the story.

Torn. Its a beautiful thing to watch as long as you don’t try and interact with it. Which you HAVE to, to move through the scenes.

Worth the money? As a game/experience?
No.

But as a donation to the efforts of the production company who may just be on to something?
100% Yes!

Thanks for watching ORDESA and for your feedback ! Yes it's a new kind of interactive movie, an experimental production.

Whilst I understand the tilt controls are a key part of the game's narrative experience, from an accessibility point of view it would be good to have an alternate control scheme here. I have a muscle disorder and I'm playing on iPad Pro, and having to lift up and tilt my iPad around is something I find very difficult to do for long.

Thanks for watching Ordesa. We take your feedback into consideration for next projects.
