The story revolves around two scientists that find themselves trapped in an underground laboratory following an incident involving a bio-weapon in London. It&#8217;ll be down to you to escape from the lab by forging relationships and making hard interactive choices &#8211; over 100 of them, apparently &#8211; that lead to different endings.<\/p>\n<p>Described as a &#8216;female-driven production&#8217;, it has been written by Lynn Renee Maxcy, part of the writing team on award-winning adaptation of Margret Atwood&#8217;s <strong>The Handmaid&#8217;s Tale<\/strong>. With acting talent from series including <strong>Bad Blood<\/strong>, <strong>Game of Thrones<\/strong> and <strong>Grantchester<\/strong>, there certainly seems to be a little more pedigree in this production than you might expect if &#8216;FMV&#8217; is synonymous with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/night_trap_-_25th_anniversary_edition\">Night Trap<\/a><\/strong> in your mind.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Some production shots.\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5651243ae4ae0\/some-production-shots.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5651243ae4ae0\/some-production-shots.original.jpg\" alt=\"Some production shots.\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Some production shots.\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6abd8d16fa697\/some-production-shots.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6abd8d16fa697\/some-production-shots.original.jpg\" alt=\"Some production shots.\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"caption\">Some production shots.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>We&#8217;ve played several of Wales Interactive&#8217;s offerings such as <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/bunker\">The Bunker<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/late_shift\">Late Shift<\/a><\/strong>, with the latter standing out as a particularly effective example, so we&#8217;re hoping The Complex can give FMV fans another solid game to point sceptics to when it releases early next year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you a fan of FMV?
