Press release:
Cardiff, Wales – July 13th, 2021.
The Wales-based indie games developer Wales Interactive (who are mainly known for their acclaimed for its FMV games, narrative-driven adventures, and interactive movies) today announced with great delight and thrill that their horror FMV game “Night Book” is coming to PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and iOS devices on July 27th, 2021.

Night Book is full of supernatural terror and suspense as Loralyn, a pregnant translator working from home, is fiendishly tricked into bringing an untold evil into her life. With Loralyn’s husband away and her unwell father in the house with her, players, as Loralyn, must make major decisions that keep the family safe or unwittingly place them in grave danger. Though Night Book features one story, there are multiple paths and endings to discover.

Filmed remotely during lockdown, this entirely live-action title is an acting masterclass, with the close-quarters filming style only ramping up the tension and underlining the occult terror that Loralyn and her family face. Night Book stars an exquisite cast, including Julie Dray (Cyberpunk 2077, Avenue 5) and Colin Salmon (Resident Evil, Arrow, and Die Another Day).

Night Book director Alex Lightman:

“Every movie is different but working on Night Book was a truly unique experience. Shooting entirely under COVID restrictions meant that every assumption about how to make a movie had to be reconsidered. The project was shot entirely over Zoom with some scenes taking place across three countries simultaneously, with the actors setting up all their own camera kits and props. It was a real honour to work on such an unusual project with so many talented people, and I hope everyone has as much fun playing Night Book as I did making it.”

Pre-order Night Book on PC via Steam, and on Nintendo Switch.
