Nina BURN is the biggest pop star in the world at the turning point of her career. Will you change pop music? Grow tentacles? Retire? Sell out? Start a cult? YOU decide and you will BURN. BURN is a pop star tragedy, coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles in 2022. BURN is the next high impact and alternative story game from the creators of Aussie Stoner Noir STONE.
“BURN is a character study and reflection of how far someone can go for their art and the cost of fame’” said writer, director and Chief Convict Greg Louden of Convict Games. “We’ve been working on BURN since the COVID lockdown started in February 2020 tapping into our passion for the stories of the music industry, pop stars, body horror and classic music cinema and documentaries”.
“BURN” is also purely an interactive story, so your only interaction is through choosing your dialogue choices and certain interactables. Keeping the vibe of STONE with lots more impacts on the story for players to discover and decipher Nina’s story. So ”BURN” is not a 3D adventure game, but rather something entirely new with a series of high quality animations with voice-over that adjust based on your choices across the game.
A unique thing about BURN is you don’t ever hear the music Nina creates and the world worships. Instead Convict Game BURN features a composed soundtrack of multiple genres by Joonas Turner creator of Tormentor X Punisher and audio from Broforce, Noita, Nuclear Throne and more with genres ranging from Dark ambient, Techno, Black Metal, Berlin post-wave, Russian sci-fi ambience and Hip Hop that scores your story. Every time the story is shuffled the composed score will change genres as well giving a different atmosphere that gets lighter or darker based on your choices and replays. On unlocking each genre players can choose that score for their future replay to see the full story.
BURN also features an open map to explore and a drive-in cinema featuring full length-public domain classic films to be revealed ahead as seen in their debut STONE.
