Cast your minds back to October last year and you may recall footage doing the rounds of a self-proclaimed «body cam-style» game that looked almost too realistic to actually be real — if you know what I mean.
However, fast forward six months and we now have an official trailer for the game. It's called Unrecord, and comes from a developer known simply as Drama.
Unrecord is described as a «single-player FPS that tells the story of a tactical police officer from the perspective of his body camera». You can see how it looks for yourself below — and its realism makes for slightly uncomfortable viewing.
The developer says Unrecord will see players «work to solve a complex case», and one which will require both «tactical and detective skills to succeed».
Meanwhile, Unrecord's programmer and co-creator has been sharing more insight on the game over on Twitter.
Alexandre Spindler has stated the game is «not a rail shooter or an FMV». Additionally, it is not a VR game, with Spindler stating the gameplay footage shown in the trailer above used a mouse and keyboard. It is also not a scam, something many had raised their concerns about.
«In reality, it seems rather flattering to compare the graphics of Unrecord to reality, but fortunately, we know that a game first focuses on gameplay and universe on which we primarily concentrate,» the developer wrote in a new FAQ post.
«Considering the high production costs of a video game and our global reputation at stake, if Unrecord were a scam, it would be a blockbuster scam. Therefore, it is logically not one. We do not use any real videos or external rendering to Unreal Engine for the creation of Unrecord. Unrecord is (un)real.»
