The Complex

Synopsis

Dr. Amy Tenant is a bioweapons scientist who rushes to a locked-down London laboratory after two people are exposed to a deadly nanotechnology agent she helped develop. Trapped inside the complex with her former colleague Rees Wakefield and a critically ill young activist, Amy must navigate a web of corporate betrayal, government conspiracy, and personal guilt while the clock ticks down on the victims' lives. The viewer's choices shape Amy's relationships (tracked through a visible personality matrix measuring boldness, empathy, honesty, and other traits) and determine which of nine endings plays out. Built by Wales Interactive, the film uses full-motion video with seamless branching and was designed for repeat viewings to uncover every hidden storyline and reveal new facets of Amy's character.

How the Branching Works

The Complex features 9 distinct endings. At key decision points the film pauses and presents your options, your choice determines which scene plays next, reshaping alliances, outcomes, and the story's resolution. With 75 minutes of total footage spread across these branches, a single viewing reveals only a fraction of what the film contains. Replay to discover hidden subplots, alternate character arcs, and endings that only unlock when you choose differently.
