Nocturnal Whispers by FMV Interactive

Project Overview

Nocturnal Whispers is a psychological FMV (Full Motion Video) mystery game where players take on the role of a psychoanalyst helping a patient tormented by surreal, symbolic nightmares. To guide her toward recovery, players must uncover the hidden meanings within her dreams in this immersive, story-driven experience.

Proven Track Record

Jason Price, the creator of Nocturnal Whispers, previously self-funded two FMV games (Vegas Tales and Truth) that launched on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. Both titles recouped their budgets and continue to generate revenue. This consistent performance demonstrates his ability to deliver polished projects with long-term earning potential.

Strong Market Traction

Nocturnal Whispers is already approved for PlayStation and Xbox and currently in closed beta. It has surpassed the combined PlayStation wishlist count of Vegas Tales and Truth reflecting strong audience interest. This shift to psychological mystery follows feedback from players who prefer dramatic works over comedic titles. The change in tone is already resonating, suggesting a larger, more engaged player base for this release.

Production & Talent

Filming is scheduled in Burbank with an experienced Hollywood crew. Jason’s prior FMV titles featured professional SAG actors and received praise for their performances and production quality. For Nocturnal Whispers, the team plans to cast a well-known dramatic actor in the lead role. With a strong cast and cinematic approach, the game is positioned to deliver a high-end narrative experience on console.

Investment Opportunity

Jason is investing $7,500 personally, aligning his interests with investors. With console approvals secured and a playable beta already complete, major development risks are behind the project. A launch on PlayStation and Xbox is effectively guaranteed, with revenue flowing through established digital storefronts. Investors will receive 100% of revenue from Nocturnal Whispers until 1.8x their investment is repaid. Those who invest in the first $50,000 of the raise will be repaid up to 1.98x instead of 1.8x. If funding exceeds the minimum target, additional budget will be used to secure higher-profile talent, potentially unlocking enhanced promotional placement and accelerating returns. This campaign offers a stake in a console-ready title with low production risk, proven creator experience, and strong early demand.

What are FMV games

FMV (Full Motion Video) games are interactive experiences that use real actors and filmed footage instead of animation or 3D graphics. Players make narrative choices that influence the direction and outcome of the story, creating a cinematic experience that feels more like participating in a movie than playing a traditional game. The genre has seen a strong resurgence in the past decade with titles like Her Story, Late Shift, and Telling Lies achieving both critical and commercial success. These games have earned millions in revenue and helped reestablish FMV as a viable and respected format. Because the genre remains relatively uncrowded, especially on console platforms, high-quality FMV games often benefit from increased visibility and long-tail sales.
