Clive Barker's Nightbreed: The Interactive Movie is a 1990 arcade adventure video game developed by Impact Software and published by Ocean Software on Atari ST and DOS. It is based on Clive Barker's movie Nightbreed, which in turn is based on Barker's novella Cabal. It was originally supposed to be part of a trilogy, alongside Clive Barker's Nightbreed: The Action Game and an ultimately-unreleased RPG.
Plot and gameplay
The player takes the role of Aaron Boone, who must stop the Earth Police from destroying a utopian planet named Midian.
The game is split into many - mostly arcade-based - sequences, which replay scenes from the film in an interactive way.
Critical reception
The One deemed it one of the more competent arcade adventures available.[1][2] Amiga Action felt the game had a lot of wasted potential.[3] Amiga User International noted that Cinemaware added extra interactivity to their games after being criticised, and hoped Impact did the same.[4] Amiga Computing praised the game's range of graphics, but disliked its gameplay.[5] ST Format noted the title's unique approach to the licence.[6]
