Evaluation

The Complex is a self-contained interactive movie that launched on March 31, 2020 as a complete, finished product. The game offers eight different endings, relationship and personality tracking, and unlockable features — all of which were present at launch. There is no DLC, no season pass, and no post-launch content updates beyond a bug fix patch in May 2020 addressing technical issues. The developer news feed for this game's Steam page has been used primarily to announce Wales Interactive's other titles (such as Maid of Sker, Bloodshore, Mia and the Dragon Princess, Isle Tide Hotel, Dead Reset, and Heart of the Forest). None of these announcements relate to new content for The Complex itself. Wales Interactive has never communicated any plans to expand The Complex after its release. The game launched as a finished interactive film experience, and there is no indication from the developer — then or since — that additional content was ever planned or delivered.

About this game

After a major bio-weapon attack on London, two scientists find themselves in a locked-down laboratory with time, and air, running out. With interactive gameplay, your actions and your relationship with other characters will lead you to one of eight suspenseful endings.

Having treated the victims of a chemical attack in the totalitarian state of Kindar, Dr Amy Tenant is a leader in the advancement of Nanocell Technology. Now, in London, news breaks of a blood-vomiting civilian whose identity is far from coincidental. Reunited with an old friend, Amy is trapped in an impenetrable HQ of laboratories—a womb of scientific advancement with a perilous secret.

The Complex is written by Lynn Renee Maxcy, part of the Emmy award-winning writing team from The Handmaid’s Tale. The interactive movie stars Michelle Mylett (Letterkenny, Bad Blood), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones, The Witch) and Al Weaver (Grantchester). Featuring guest acting performance by Twitch streamer and former Xbox UK presenter, Leah Viathan.

Relationship Tracking

Throughout the game you will interact with characters and — depending on your choices — will either strengthen or weaken your relationship. The relationship scores are calculated from the start right through to the very end and will affect certain scenarios as well as having major consequences in the concluding scenes.

Personality Tracking

For every decision you make, every interaction, your character’s personality is being tracked. At the end of each playthrough, you are rewarded with a Personality Score and a breakdown to see how you played the game. Discover the five basic dimensions of a personality; openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Which of those will your character play?
