YouTube Drops Trailer for First Interactive Film 'A Heist with Markiplier'
Featuring 31 possible endings.
YouTube has debuted the trailer for its first interactive film, A Heist with Markiplier.
Similar to Netflix’s 2018 hit Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, A Heist with Markiplier is a choose-your-own-adventure program featuring content creator Markiplier, who brings you along for what seems like a museum heist. The special includes 31 possible endings and 61 videos, with a number of “life-or-death” decisions during the program.
The special marks YouTube’s first ever “choose your own adventure” program but is the second for Markiplier, who first released A Date with Markiplier in 2017 that featured 10 possible endings. The content creator currently has 24 million subscribers on the platform, but the likelihood of YouTube matching Bandernsatch’s success (the special was nominated for a BAFTA) and popularity remains to be seen.
Watch the full trailer above. A Heist with Markiplier hits YouTube October 30.
Elsewhere in entertainment, the extended cut of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will feature 10 minutes of previously unseen footage.
