Press Release Body: Press release



Videogames that you can follow just like a TV series

The website www.identifiction.com will diffuse its videogames at a weekly rhythm.
They are intended for adults seeking content that's original, irreverent, short
(30/45 minutes) and easy to access from any operating system and a wide range of
computers (pc, mac, windows, linux, etc.).
"Videogames must be capable of rethinking their narration, formats and genres. They
have to be capable of offering alternatives to established genres in the same way
as American TV series have done by asserting themselves as an efficient
counterweight to the movie industry. By taking the economic model of the series
with short formats and attractive subjects available at definite dates and times,
we are aiming at all those who have turned their backs on playing videogames due to
lack of time or boredom," analyses Olivier Masclef, Creative Director of
Identifictions.

An original catalogue

The "Aosphere" series (Science fiction/adventure) will be available immediately the
platform is onlined. The channel's catalogue will be enhanced by two more original
series, due from the end of the 3rd quarter of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. The
series will be diffused in French, English, German and Spanish and subtitled in a
large number of European languages.

The series and the people

Each series will be based on an innovative concept in which the players successively
take on the identities of virtual characters, keeping to their underlying
psychological traits while making irreversible decisions. "Contrary to traditional
games, the aim is not to reward performance but the capacity to personify a
fictional character," concludes Olivier Masclef.
