Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure gets an eight minute trailer

In a world where FMV never died...

Lactose intolerant beware, the latest Tesla Effect trailer is the cheesiest thing this side of a manicotti topped with parmesan.

Having recently struck up a publishing deal with Atlus, developer Big Finish Games has just released a marathon eight minute trailer showing what FMV (Full Motion Video) looks like in the modern era with its upcoming Tex Murphy adventure, Tesla Effect. And oh boy does it look glorious.

After a successful Kickstarter, Tesla Effect will see series creator Chris Jones reprising his role as the down-on-his-luck detective while he'll be joined by Seinfeld's Soup Nazi actor Larry Thomas and the voice of Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000).

According to this latest trailer Tesla Effect will feature three paths and five endings. The full game is due in Q1 2014 on PC and Mac.
