31 Days Of Horror
I’ve been to the World’s Fair and it wasn’t like this.
Before I Saw The TV Glow, writer and director Jane Schoenbrun took a previous look at lonely teens spending too much time looking at screens in this mostly found footage piece about a girl getting too deep in an ARG (not an MMORPG as it claims, but anyway) - or is she? Others posting videos about the challenge seem to be affected physically but at least some are obviously fake in-setting, and her responses seem emotional. And whatever else is real, someone is definitely watching.
More unease - and concern - than any scares, no jumps or the like. But the biggest wince of the week early on as she jabs her finger with a pin badge.
The medium: Film4, also on Prime and MUBI
Gameability: An RPG adventure about someone falling into another kind of RPG might be a bit meta.
