FMV Psychological Horror-Thriller Hello Stranger Out Today For PC
PRESS RELEASE – May 30, 2025 – PRM Games is thrilled to announce that Hello Stranger, the highly anticipated FMV (Full-Motion Video) psychological horror-thriller from Paul Raschid releases today for PC.
Hello Stranger is a gripping FMV psychological horror-thriller, written and directed by Paul Raschid (The Complex, Five Dates, Ten Dates, The Gallery). The game plunges players into a chilling story where survival depends on the choices they make.
The Story
Cam lives his entire life through his smart-home – work, entertainment, and even socializing via Hello Stranger, a random video chat platform. One night, an unsettling encounter with a masked stranger turns into a nightmare. The stranger hacks into Cam’s home, locks him inside, and forces him to play three deadly games. Every choice matters. Win the games, or it’s game over. Permanently.
The player has two story modes to choose from: Game Mode and Cinema Mode. Both modes draw on over four hours of live-action content with multiple branching paths that lead to 10 possible endings.
