The Future of Interactive Cinema
Aviary Studios continues to push the boundaries of interactive story-telling by blending the mediums of film and gaming. Following the success of their previous title, The Gallery, which screened in cinemas across the UK, France, and China, Hello Stranger takes audience-driven storytelling to a new level.
How It Works:
At these exclusive cinema screenings, the audience controls the story by voting on decisions using glowsticks, influencing every major decision and determining the protagonist's fate in real-time.
What is Hello Stranger?
Hello Stranger is a gripping FMV (Full-Motion Video) psychological horror-thriller, written and directed by Paul Raschid (The Complex, Five Dates, Ten Dates, The Gallery). Launching on PC via Steam in May 2025, the game plunges players into a chilling story where survival depends on the choices you make.
The Story:
Cam lives his entire life through his smart-home - work, entertainment, and even socializing via Hello Stranger, a random video chat platform. One night, an unsettling encounter with a masked stranger turns into a nightmare. The stranger hacks into Cam's home, locks him inside, and forces him to play three deadly games. Every choice matters. Win the games, or it's game over. Permanently.
