DRAMA Studio, a new independent game development company, is making headways on social media and gaming platforms with its recently-released trailer for 'Unrecord.' Unrecord is a hyperrealistic bodycam-style first-person-shooter game built in Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5. This game centers around a tactical police officer who must work to solve complex cases through a mix of deduction and detective skills.
The two-minute trailer shows the main character approaching a building then slowly sweeping the building for hostiles, all while wielding a pistol. The trailer has been praised for its lifelike graphics, impressive camerawork including shakycam movements and light exposure, and its accurate sound design. However, some users have noted that the level of realism demonstrated in this game is approaching "scary" levels, as it is near indistinguishable from real life for many viewers.
