Ex-PlayStation 4 exclusive FMV Erica was already ported to iOS platforms, and now it’s launching on PC as well. The interactive movie – developed by UK studio Flavourworks – will cost £9.99/$11.99 on Steam, but there will be a 10 per cent when it releases on 25th May. While the IP is owned by Sony, the developer is self-publishing this PC port; it’s similar to what happened with Quantic Dream’s titles.
We liked the game a lot when it first launched in 2019, and an excerpt from our Erica PS4 review follows: “Erica is an intriguing, admirable experience that those looking for something a little outside of the video game norm will surely latch on to. With an impressive set of performances, a story that’ll have you hooked straight from the off, and meaningful decisions that have a major impact on the game, FMV is making waves all over again.”

I played it with my SO, and it was... okay. Nothing mind-blowing, but for people who like FMV games, it's one that is better than most.
I enjoyed it. It's a decent movie. I like games like these and wish there were more.
Tried it out with my gf. Nearly fell asleep during the first 30 mins and deleted it. Not for me.
I really got a kick out of the interaction mechanics they came up with for this. It felt a lot more immersive than your standard FMV game. I still have the companion app installed on my phone just in case I feel the urge to hop back in and see some of the other routes.
I didn't really love Detroit or even that style of game that much but I hear this is pretty engaging so might check it out during a sale.
@Amusei I agree it was super boring
I'm surprised it's not coming to Xbox.
The story was ok, the real fun part was seeing if you can get everyone alive at the end. Which I never did, was too much fun over/under dosing the “treatment”.
Should we all go to E3 and break our PS4s for no reason? Please advise, I have no idea how to behave like a playstation fanatic and I don't care about exclusives being ported to other platforms.
@Rhaoulos Ok here's what you do
Make three comments under this article about how much you hate Sony for releasing games on PC
Tell everyone to boycott MLB The Show which will absolutely 100% work in your favor
Call Sony a clown before proceeding to preorder MLB The Show
Compared to Late Shift (which I really liked) I found this quite tedious
Decent little game this, glad its getting a wider audience
It's not a terrible FMV game, but it does feel a little half-baked overall.
@TheFrenchiestFry Sorry but with you its the same only with bad things about Sony.
@Spoonman-2 Late Shift was strangely compelling. No single aspect of it was great, but it all came together to make for a fun game. Maybe it’s because it was my first foray into the current golden age of FMV games, but I played through every ending and enjoyed almost every minute of it.
