body cam fps game unrecord

Remember the ‘body cam’ first-person shooter footage that went viral last year? Well, this two-men game has gotten a trailer and it looks incredible.

Alexandre Spindler, the sole developer behind the viral body cam game footage on Twitter has apparently been busy building an actual game called Unrecord from what first looked like demo stage environment footage.

Unrecord announcement trailer

The first trailer for Unrecord shows off the same abandoned eastern-European buildings and a protagonist that seems to be a police officer swarming inside. The shooting and gameplay style look pulled from a VR game because of its high field of view and body-cam style with chromatic aberration effects around the edges, but the game is NOT a VR title. Come to think about it, the footage seems so real, you can easily mistake it for an airsoft match video on YouTube…

Unrecord falls into the SWAT game series genre or more recently, its early access predecessor Ready Or Not, which has the same concept: SWAT police units storming emergency hostage situations in an effort to bring order to chaos.

The trailer showcases a drone at some point which will probably be a mechanic in the game. Another thing worth mentioning is the conversation options at the end of the trailer, where you can decide what happens next, probably impacting the story arc, similar to RPG games like Mass Effect, Skyrim or Fallout.

The “Pitch” for the Unrecord FPS game, as taken from its official website, states:

UNRECORD is a single-player FPS that tells the story of a tactical police officer from the perspective of his body camera. As you work to solve a complex case, you’ll need to use your tactical and detective skills to succeed.

So, a single-player realistic FPS with a storyline similar to what you would read in a detective novel. A niche market but a welcomed one for sure. Unrecord sounds like a combination between Super Hot (a unique and innovative FPS experience) and Heavy Rain (an action-packed novel-style storyline that will have you riding an emotional rollercoaster throughout the game).

About the Studios Drama

Alexandre Spindler and Théo Hiribarne put together the Studios Drama back in 2020, which is the company and owner behind Unrecord game. They are currently in the early stages of development and are looking for investment opportunities as mentioned on their website.

The original body cam game footage

Unreal Engine 5 games, Unrecord being one of them, are surely taking over the world slowly but steadily with their photorealistic atmosphere and visual realism.

As YouTuber Bluedrake42 demonstrated in his video attached below, Alexandre Spindler used some free and paid Unreal Engine 5 assets to compose the eastern-European-inspired building footage we fell in love with back in November of 2022.

This is not something shameful, it’s actually a good way of kick-starting your project and learning how will a body cam FPS fit best in terms of environments.

With that being said, we should be weary and take Unrecord’s announcement trailer with a grain of salt. The last thing we want is another The Day Before controversy on our hands.

But this time around won’t be a controversy, but rather a Drama.

EDIT

It seems like the whole internet went crazy after the premiere trailer launch of Unrecord. Many of us didn’t think the footage was “real” or rather “unreal”? Regardless, developer Alexandre Spindler posted a demonstration clip on his Twitter account of the game’s debug interface:

In the end, the biggest flattery for a video game is for someone to think it’s actually REAL.
