The Date: an interactive movie

Based on the ‘choose your own adventure’ books from the 1980’s, the outcome of this interactive movie rests with the user. The shy boy central character has managed to score a date with the girl of his dreams - it is up to the user to determine whether he is successful or a miserable failure.
