Night Trap is an interactive movie video game developed by Digital Pictures and originally released for the Sega CD in 1992. The game is presented primarily through the use of full motion video (FMV). In Night Trap, the player takes the role of a special agent tasked to watch over teenage girls visiting a house which, unbeknownst to them, is full of danger. The player watches live surveillance footage of the house and triggers traps to capture anyone seen endangering the girls. The primary antagonists are Augers, vampiric beings who want to capture the girls for their blood. The player can freely switch their view between different cameras to keep watch over the girls and eavesdrop on conversations to follow the story and listen for clues.

There is a huge potential here for something artistic, but the game doesn't really want to tap into it.

You get to pretty much spy on a family, and choose between watching them and watching/neutralizing the invaders. What sucks is that the game basically forces you to focus on the invaders. I'd love to just watch the live-action footage recorded for this game without the pressure of having to flip through cameras and tediously wait for the invaders to get to the position where you can activate the trap. The actual gameplay here is super basic and gets old in minutes. Also, past a certain point I got confused and didn't know what I was supposed to do. The traps stopped working, and there's this color selection thing that I don't know what it's for, and the game doesn't bother to explain anything.
