Yes, it was a genre IN the 90's. That's sort of where it lived and died. The whole "playable movie" thing sounded like fun, but it just became mostly quick time events (QTE :) ) or choose your own adventure. It didn't really allow for interesting gameplay.

Developer: Digital Pictures Publisher: Digital Pictures, Sega, Virgin Group, Virgin Interactive, Acclaim Entertainment Platform(s): 3DO, Sega Genesis While it’s not exactly brilliant, with its camp B-movie aesthetic being an acquired taste, we couldn’t make an FMV article without talking about Night Trap. You control an agent in charge of a series ...
Developer: Sierra Entertainment, Kronos Digital Entertainment Publisher: Sierra Entertainment Platform(s): PC, SEGA Saturn The FMV genre has been very popular and effective for the point and click genre, and one of the most legendary of them all is Phantasmagoria. While it could easily be considered dated by today’s standards, both in terms of game...
Developer: h.a.n.d., Square Enix Publisher: Square Enix Platform(s):PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch Solving a 100 year old murder mystery sounds like an impossible undertaking, but impossible is nothing in the world of video games, as The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story showcases.

Developer: Flavourworks, London Studio Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment Platform(s): PC, iOS, PS4 Using FMV is one way to add a dose of realism and immersion to a gaming experience, but Erica goes the extra mile by introducing touch controls for various in-game actions, making for a game unlike many others. It might not be the most well re...
Developer: CtrlMovie, Wales Interactive Publisher: CtrlMovie, Wales Interactive Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Truthfully, we could probably do an FMV list on just Wales Interactive games alone, as they’ve been huge pioneers for the format for the past few years. Expect to see their name on this list a lot, but for now, let’s focus...
Developer: Baggy Cat Limited Publisher: Baggy Cat Limited, Tim Follin Platform(s): PC, iOS One of the biggest tools a detective has in their arsenal when investigating a murder is the power to catch people in a lie or a contradiction; to present new or alternative evidence that tears to shreds everything a suspect is saying. That’s the basic appeal...
Developer: D’Avekki Studios Publisher: D’Avekki Studios, Wales Interactive Platform(s): PC, iOS, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch You could argue that being an FMV game is enough of a unique selling point in its own right to help stand out from the pack of other games, but offering something else does help. Developers D’Avekki Studios specialise in F...
Developer: D’Avekki Studios Publisher: D’Avekki Studios, Wales Interactive Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch If The Shapeshifting Detective is up your street, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker will probably be just as appealing considering it’s from the same developers and features the same randomly selected murderer mechanic.

Developer: Kaigan Games Publisher: Kaigan Games, Neon Doctrine, Wales Interactive Platform(s): PC, iOS, Android, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch In horror, the most terrifying scares are often the most realistic, so a found footage, horror FMV game about looking through someone’s phone seems about as realistic as horror can get in this day and age. ...
