Kollywood: The Game
An apathetic bystander wakes up in a Kollywood action film, and must finish the plot to go home.
Kollywood: The Game is a stop motion video, comedy game with quick-time event fight scenes inspired by Tamil Cinema.
Synopsis: It's been a long day for Baasha as he is watching a Tamil movie, sitting on his living room couch. He falls asleep on his couch... and in that moment, his life is changed forever. Taken from his living room and dropped into the world of Tamil Cinema, Baasha has to work his way through the movie to get back home.
Gameplay: Complete the Quick-Time Events (Hold or Mash) to play through fight scenes. Failing QTE sequences will play a fail scene and then return to previous checkpoint. Dialogues are fully voiced in Tamil, with English subtitles.
By taking various references to real life Indian cinema, I created cinematic soundtracks to fit the mood of Kollywood's epic and overblown drama, enhancing the absurdity that accompanies action Indian cinema. I also play a role as the film's main villain, Karate Kaasi. On my quest to eliminate the earth's oceans, I channeled my martial arts training to advise and act out various fight scenes to give the scenes more energy and absurdity.
