Over 60 separate, live-action video clips were embedded throughout the game. Here they all are, individually playable. If you run them all in sequence, they don’t exactly hold together like a conventional movie, but you do get a strong sense of the story and characters. I’ve included some behind-the-scenes notes about some of them, which will appear under each video when it plays. Many thanks to an amazing cast & crew and the post-production VFX magic of Tom Moser (and more than a little by yours truly, too). —JJ
