This week Seoirse speaks with Director, Actor and Game developer Ramon Hamilton, who both develops and stars in new FMV game Case Files: Behind closed doors. In this game we play as a detective and we need to guide detective Martin Ruiz (played beautifully by Ramon himself) as he interrogates four potential suspects. Ramon talks to Seoirse about how he filmed and made the game, how he came up with the game mechanics and he gives us a background on the actors who appear in his game. He also talks a little about his two upcoming projects. All that and much more!

Please note Domestic Violence is discussed in this interview and in the game.

So Amber spoke about what we can expect with the story, the choices we make in the game, the deck building aspects and the puzzles we can solve in order to get the humans to trust and helps us escape.
