Mixtape and the Interactive Movie (Gaming)

And then you have Mixtape, where the “gameplay” exists to just give you something to do so you don’t get bored while you are fed a movie. I’ve seen it described as “jingling keys”, which isn’t too far off the mark. Still, it’s technically a game, but there isn’t really a point to its interactivity outside of triggering nostalgia for certain things, as the kids, story, and your understanding and level of context will continue exactly the same, regardless of your input.

They should have put in a rudimentary RNG determined interstitial game about dispatching police and firefighters to deal with the events. Then it would be a GOTY contender!
