PLAYING KILLS
On screen, through the haze, can be seen blurred shapes.
You look through the view-finder and realise that the object moving before your eyes is THE target. You shoot. It falls to the ground. Out of focus.
Sound: the gun-shot is surprisingly clear and realistic.
Just realistically vague enough for you to ask yourself questions.
A message flashes up :
THIS IS NOT A GAME
Once again, the shapes moving around and the targets within range of your mouse appear to shout out :
NEXT!
PLAYING KILLS is a black and white variation of the dissuasive message printed on cigarette packets.
