ROUGH KUTS: Night of the Living Dead

The "Rough Kuts" series are public domain movies with spliced scenes with choice in between to give them a visual novel/CYOA game style. This one is Night of the Living Dead. Now, while it’s a fun and really cheap way to get & discover the movies, the “gameplay” is very limited. Unlike a visual novel, for example, you cannot change the movie’s narrative, since it got a precise beginning, middle and end. Yes, they are some “game over” added but it only ends the story prematurely with the main character’s death. Thus, I recommend only is you wish to get the movies for cheap with light gameplay and not if you’re looking for a deep narrative, CYOA game.

PUBLIC DOMAIN
res nullius, res communes, res publicae, res universitati
* no copyright notification on release material
* copyright renewal lapsed (up to 1978 release)
* 95 years or older (USA) or 70 years after death (which ever is shorter)
great idea for public domain films. while they are free in many forms, this is another good option.
i have played through all the dlc currently. 10 dlc + base game = 11 films.
is it "horror" well, definition of horror extends greatly to many things
while some would be more considered "scifi" than horror, its more of the consensus that each film is categorized as horror film.
why so many 1959 & roger corman? thats just how it is. thats public domain... thats some of what we have.
films are all 720p stock, not "movie media files" they are packed in a format for the interactive gameplay to read
being 720p, the films quality are good or very good.
not much more than a CEF / electron browser playing the video with css, json & javascript handling the interactions.

I recommend Rough Kuts if you have an interest and like FMV games and also horror. You need to understand though these are simple FMV games and they are cheap and aren't ask a lot. So if you expect anything like mini games an puzzles im sorry you wont find any. If you enjoy buying FMV games though these are good especially for the price and amount of content available and the amount more to come. If you know what your getting into and haven't set your bar way to high in the sky these are worth it imo. Im also an FMV junkie lol,

Update: Got 3 Copyright Claims after uploading, sadly, even though this movie is public domain... nothing wrong with the game, just modern copyright law.
Great new way to enjoy old movies in the form of a game! I love FMV stuff, and this is similar to that, but in a toned down and much more chill way. Hope that makes sense lol
I hope that I can upload these games to my yt channel without any *copyright issues as this is right up my viewers alley. will update if I run into any issues like that.
*current copyright law is mostly just enabling massive corporations to own and gatekeep intellectual property, educational materials and cultural assets.

I seen this movie in Commercials when I was a kiddo besides that I haven't seen this movie at all.
This game/movie is good and a little jump scared

i love how they made these films interactive and my decisions actually made a difference, really awesome. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Nicely done, Rough Kuts! :3
For those of you gamers who appreciate classical horror movies, then this interactive FMV is simply made for you.
For the makers and all the people that involved in making it, I can only say thank you for preserving the classics for us to enjoy, as well as generations to come.
