Andy Buckley leads talent on FMV ‘Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus?’

Wales Interactive and Good Gate Media have revealed their latest FMV interactive game.

Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? stars Andy Buckley as Uncle Marcus along with Abigail Hardingham, Susannah Doyle, Robbie Kay, Georgia Small and Al Weaver. The eccentric FMV is a murder mystery with a twist: someone has poisoned Uncle Marcus. Uncover the truth in the yearly family quiz and try to save him before it is too late.

Every year, Abby’s mum has a family quiz on her birthday. It’s a long-held tradition, one that brings the whole rich and eccentric family together – and one that Abby dreads. But this year’s quiz comes with a shocking difference… as it’s about to begin, her beloved Uncle Marcus tells her that he’s dying – and someone in the family has poisoned him. Abby is the only one he can trust… You must find out who the murderer is before it is too late.

Shot in lockdown and filmed simultaneously in London and Los Angeles this is from the studios behind The Complex, Five Dates, Night Book and Bloodshore.
