Ordesa - the interactive movie

I’ve played few interactive movies and really enjoyed those so, when I’ve seen this one on my Apple TV, I’ve decided to purchase it. It’s been such a disappointment! A boring game where you need to scroll right or left with an awful story that forced me to stop playing it after 10 minutes. I mean, if I have to just swipe my finger round or left, I don’t need to pay for a game.

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.

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!

Sorry but I feel duped by Apple recommending this. Been following it for half an hour now and have no idea what it’s about or what’s going on. I guess they’re trying to build atmosphere, but the controls are crazy and the story is so slow it makes it hard to concentrate.

U can tap it TIL it and from my favourite horror movie bewitch huge fan of

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.

Today I totally wasted my money! There is very little interaction (although they would have you believe otherwise, to buy the game) and the story is boring. Finishing in less than an hour.

It was done better in a Taylor swift app in 2015

Concept super intéressant. Gameplay un peu manquant mais on passe un bon moment dans cette ambiance étrange… J’aurai dû enlever une étoile pour la sauvegarde qui ne fonctionne pas, il faut le faire d’une traite mais il n’est pas très long… Bravo aux auteurs/artistes pour l’idée et pour la réalisation!

Tout est dans le titre. Je désinstalle !
