The so-called "series that watches you" is now available. #WarGames, an interactive project adapted from the 1983 movie of the same name, is now available on the web, on the iOS app of producer Eko, and on Steam, where an ad-free version of the series can be purchased for $2.99.
#WarGames, in a departure from its source material, enters the modern world of "hacktivism," putting viewers in the shoes of a hacker named Kelly. As the show progresses, we get to see the story as Kelly does, and our choices influence hers. Such interactive wizardry is possible thanks to Eko's proprietary technology, which has powered a number of high-concept interactive programs to date; you may recognize the company by its previous name, Interlude.
