The thing is, if you turn your brain off and go along for the ride it really doesn’t matter. For example, a character must die so they stand on a mine for no real reason, another person is shot in the chin because of one choice and is paralysed with fear in another but regardless the outcome ends up being the same and can feel forced. Similarly, the stitching between some scenes, to make everything segue correctly can be a bit jarring on the second run. Not one wherein the current political climate has shown that lying on camera, and being caught, has no impact whatsoever on a person’s popularity. That the world would care about the ‘truth’ behind Killstream and that it would change anything comes from a more optimistic time. The conclusion of one of the ‘happy’ endings is reassuringly naïve. The plot itself, however, does not stand up to scrutiny. Standouts are Michael Phong Le as the video game obsessive, and James Palmer who is tasked with holding the whole story together as Nick Romeo. As the game twists between bawdy social commentary, gory nastiness, and goofball comedy, the actors lend themselves to the scene as best they can. I will say that the actors lean into the camp/macabre script and make the most of their lines. How far will Otto and Scarlett make it? Will the nut-job conspiracy theorist Ari get under Nick’s skin? Will Dev, the stand-in for Bear Grylls, eat human flesh, again? The interplay between Nick and the other contestants is where most of the drama is derived. Each of the choices made will affect whether the viewers like him, whether the people around him trust him, his strength, romantic connections, and insight into the overall game plan. Nominally, the player controls Nick Romeo and the game gravitates around how he handles himself on the show. Much like previous releases this involves the player watching cutscenes and then making choices at pivotal moments that change the course of the story.

The newest cast is filled with bloggers, e-celebrities and washed-out movie stars looking to increase their cultural cache. However, as the show developed and the advantages of being a winner became apparent, it enticed anyone desperate enough.
As it is explained, the Battle Royale started off only involving convicts. Fifty contestants are dropped onto an island and are expected to kill each other in an attempt to win 100 million dollars.

The premise of Bloodshore is centred on a reality TV show called Killstream – a Battle Royale game that takes the likes of Big Brother and Survivor to their most violent extreme. While The Complex was a Sci-Fi thriller, and Five Dates was a rom-com, Bloodshore tackles being an action movie and largely succeeds. Bloodshore is the latest release and, according to the press kit blurb, it is from the producers of their best two releases: The Complex and Five Dates. With each iteration from their publishing house, they have targeted different genres and had shockingly good results.
