Death Come True director on why he made an FMV game, talks sequel chances

Interactive movie Death Come True recently launched on Switch, which was created by Danganronpa's Kazutaka Kodaka. In an interview with Gematsu, Kodaka explains why his latest game went the FMV route.

“We were having a few drinks with some friends and colleagues and we got excited talking about an FMV game, so we thought we’d make one ourselves! That’s how it all came about. So we started things after that pretty casual discussion, approaching it like making an independent movie. I’d seen a lot of existing FMV games, but nothing really served as inspiration. But as a game creator, I thought I’d try to make something that was more game-like than existing FMV titles.”

Kodaka is also asked about the chances of a sequel, and it sounds like things are up in the air.

“Like I said earlier, Death Come True as an independent project came about pretty spontaneously, so I haven’t really thought about serialization or anything, but the same was true for Danganronpa. Who knows that the future holds. Maybe we’ll see Komaru Karaki one of these days, haha!”
