Short description
In 1984, a young programmer begins to question reality as he adapts a dark fantasy novel into a video game. A mind-bending tale with multiple endings.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film does not have a fixed runtime; its duration depends on which storyline the viewer chooses. The shortest version of the film lasts 40 minutes. The total amount of footage shot is 5 hours 12 minutes 13 seconds.
- Jerome F. Davis is played by Jeff Minter, a British video game developer and programmer.
- Stefan is listening to the Sony TPS-L2, the first in the Walkman line.
- The fictional company Tuckersoft is based on the bankrupt company Imagine Software.
- The cover of Crash magazine, which Colin is reading, was specially drawn by artist Oliver Frey – the author of all the magazine’s covers during its publication.
- In some storyline variations, Colin reads Crash magazine or 2000 AD comics.
- The character in the game Colin is working on is constantly falling. This is a reference to one of the storyline variations in which Colin jumps out of a window.
- "Brandashmyg" is a game that Imagine Software once planned to release, but went bankrupt in 1984.
- The word "brandashmyg" was invented by Lewis Carroll (1832-1898).
- In one of the episodes, the words "Hudson" and "Imagine" can be heard – these are the names of computer companies from the early 1980s.
- In one of the endings, you can hear a tape recording of computer data sounds; loading the sound into a ZX Spectrum provides the viewer with a QR code, which leads to a fictional website where a playable copy of the ZX Spectrum game "Nohzdyve" can be downloaded.
- Stefan visits a psychiatrist at the San Junipero Medical Center. "San Junipero" is the title of the 4th episode of the 3rd season of "Black Mirror", which aired on October 21, 2016.
- The symbol shown on screen is the same one the viewer saw in the 2013 episode "White Bear".
- At the beginning, Colin shows Stefan his new game, "The Dive" – a reference to the episode of the same name from the 3rd season, which aired in 2016.
- Jerome F. Davis is played by Jeff Minter, a British computer game developer and programmer.
- The word "brillig" was coined by Lewis Carroll (1832-1898).
