Steven Spielberg Game featuring Quentin Tarantino & others comes back as a murder mystery

In 1996, Knowledge Adventure for Windows and Macintosh had created a simulation video game called Steven Spielberg's Director’s Chair. The FMV simulation game got a second lease online and would be making a comeback as a Bandersnatch-style interactive story.

Earlier, the game attempted to provide an accurate look at the process of moviemaking, including all aspects of the production and had tried to inspire a new generation of directors. The game featured Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino and Jennifer Aniston and Penn and Teller among others.

Back then, the game did not get much popularity and could not sustain after a decade. Back then, the game budgets were not what they are today and therefore the quality of the game was not one of the best. It is only recently that developers have experimented with the style once again and have given the simulation video game a new purpose. 

Screenrant reported that game developer Paolo Pedercii shared his attempt to revise the game by taking out its best parts and creating something new. Reportedly, the in-game movie is a murder mystery that stretches Penn and Teller’s acting skills by having them play shady magicians named Paine and Terrore. Reportedly, Quentin Tarantino will play the role of a chauffeur who would be framed for murder while Jennifer will put herself in danger while investigating the case.

Screenrant further reported that Steven Speilberg’s foray into FMV gaming did not work as was intended. Reportedly, the game was too complicated for many players and the footage was too set in stone to enable for any creativity or genuine moviemaking. Reportedly, it has been repurposed as an interactive story like something that might appear on Netflix.

Paolo Pedercini took to his Twitter handle and posted about the game. He wrote in his tweet that the original game was an awkward but ambitious film-making simulation. He further wrote that it was meant to inspire a new generation of directors but unfortunately it tried to be a bit too realistic when simulating all logistical challenges of movie production. Paolo agreed that it left very little room for creativity.
