Hi Charlie! Today, I'll introduce to you an interactive movie (in two parts), In Space With Markiplier, made and directed by the famous youtuber: Mark Edward Fishbach, aka Markiplier! (All free on Youtube, by the way! On Markiplier's channel!)
This 'choose your own story' takes place in space (as you can see in the title) as you are inheriting the new spaceship, named The Invincible II, that YOU will now navigate as Captain, with the help of your Head Engineer, Mark.
The Invincible II has a mission to transport over 1000 Colonists to a safe and new planet to inhabit, but your ride doesn't go as smoothly as it should go. On this journey, you will encounter many enemies and allies as the unexpected consequences of wormhole travelling unravels upon your ship, but something just doesn't feel right...
This story's lore goes very deep down into the rabbit hole; every single little detail matters!
The timeline in this movie is quite confusing: are you in the past? Future? Or did the universe simply rewind itself? How many 'endings' will you experience? Is there even an end to this movie? So many questions are asked but only you can figure out the mysteries of the universe you are in! Or should i say 'universes'...?
I've had my fair share of interactive stories (games and shows/movies) over the course of my time on the internet, with 'Bandersnatch' (Black mirror), 'Minecraft Story Mode' being my two very first and 'Detroit: Become Human' being my favorite interactive game!
I'm really fond of these kinds of stories as you can shape your own journey to your heart's content, while having a great time. These 'choose your own story' games would also be a fun activity to do with your friends as you get to know them more through their choices and opinions, i won't guarantee that you'll stay friends with them though...don't blame me!
Anyway, that's enough of me, go watch the movie now!!!
I'll leave you with this quote, from my favorite character, to help you out on your journey to a safe and new planet;
"The Multiverse is littered with the corpses of your failure."
Have a safe space journey Charlie! And as always see you on the next one, buh-bye!!!!
