We’re heard about cursed video tapes earlier than, however what a few cursed online game?

This new trailer from Netflix for Select or Die imagines a retro online game in the course of a Noticed meets The Ring plot. Watch this:

After firing up a misplaced 80s survival horror sport, a younger coder unleashes a hidden curse that tears actuality aside, forcing her to make terrifying choices and face lethal penalties.

Wanting on the trailer, you possibly can see that the sport Cursor has some inspiration for the real-life technique sport Rogue. I believe it’s additionally a touch that they’re taking inspiration from the Rogue sport, seeing that Cursor got here out within the 80s, and Rogue got here out in 1980.

We additionally see a Nightmare on Elm Avenue poster within the background, and Freddy Kreuger actor Robert Englund is a part of the solid. It’s additionally looks as if a case of meta-casting in relation to placing Asa Butterfield within the film. Although he’s greatest recognized by audiences because the lead of Netflix’s Intercourse Schooling, he’s additionally knowledgeable eSports participant and is a part of Group Liquid. Overlook his performing abilities, as a result of he can professionally compete in Smash and DOTA as effectively.

With a launch date so shut, I ponder why we’re solely getting a trailer for this film now. Both manner, I believe it is going to be a enjoyable romp for anybody who loves 80s horror and video video games. It actually hits that nostalgia spot for the Stranger Issues target market.

Select or Die involves Netflix this April 15.
