An interactive movie from Casio brand G-Shock about zombies is very dark:
Play it over at the G-Shock microsite – fiveminutes.gs
Because I don’t mess around, I started off on difficulty level “hell”. I didn’t make it far before I messed up on too many of the mouse patterns, and the dad (pictured above) revolver’d himself in the head all over the family pictures. Not really what I was expecting from a company that makes watches. Will Moms demand action on G-Shock now? Will they demand action on Google for Chrome supporting HTML5? With They demand action on all touchscreen and computer mice manufacturers?
I really don’t have the patience to keep playing the game and finding out what happens, but I have to say they definitely did a impressive job on the execution of this. Product placement is obvious, but mainly because you knew in advance. If you weren’t explicitly told it was a G-Shock promo, it’s not any more in your face than movies or TV shows are now.
Just when I thought zombies were done with…
Thoughts? Anyone make it to the end?

I made it to the end. Has a weird ending:
(SPOILER ALERT!):
In the end the daughter (Mia) points the gun at John (AKA dad) and asks what was the mother (AKA Kathrin) wearing before she died. John sees a hallucination of her next to Mia and she is wearing a yellow sweater. Mia gets angry/scared and asks “What colour was her dress!?”. John says it was a yellow sweater not a red dress, then she gives him the gun and they hug while Mia states that she was so sure it was a red dress. Then we get a peek through a crack in the door and see the mother as a zombie and she is wearing a… red dress. That implies that John didn’t quite remember everything and that sorta makes his future uncertain. That and he didn’t get bit but a zombie drooled/spit/slobbered on an open wound that he got while getting in the house.
(SPOILER END)
Whoa that sounds pretty intense. Maybr I’ll finish it!
Men don’t know what people are wearing.
