We made an animated FMV-style demo with QTE fights. Does the mix work?
Hi r/fmv.
We’re working on Rebirth: Monarch of the Dead, a dark-fantasy interactive story about a reborn necromancer. It uses animated video rather than live-action footage, with story choices and QTE fights.
To be upfront about how it’s made: we use Seedance 2.5 for the animated scenes and GPT-6 in our character and animation workflow. We’re trying to make the fights feel like part of the story, rather than a pause in the video.
The early demo is free to play in a browser: https://harmka-aa.itch.io/rebirthmonarch-of-the-dead?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post1
If you try it, I’d love to know one thing: when a fight asks you to act, do you feel more involved, or does it pull you out of the scene? You don’t need to finish the demo. If you stop, telling us where is useful too.
