m.guardiannews.com: When audiences emerge from tonight's opening performance of Let The Right One In at the Dundee Rep Theatre, they won't have to leave the horror behind. The stage translation of the cult Swedish vampire film is being accompanied by its own iPhone game, Other, released last week to publicise this intriguing production.
Free to download, the game is effectively an interactive tour of the city, featuring puzzles, stories and sound effects to create a sort of chilling, augmented tourist guide – the makers don't want to say too much about how it works: a lot of the effect is based on shock. The project is the work of local studio Quartic Llama which engaged nearby schools and writing groups to uncover local ghost stories, which then became part of the narrative. Using a satellite tracking system, the game opens new stories and experiences when the player reaches key locations.
