From one of the developers of Screencheat comes a new kind of multiplayer experience!
Get on a film set with your friends and make movies! Acting Out is an online co-op multiplayer game where you and fellow actors try to shoot the next award-winning scene.
All the cameras are set up for you already, so your job is to act out scripts and deliver your best performance. You only get one take for each shot though!
Whether you’re a fan of horror, action, drama, or even trashy reality TV, there’s something for everyone. Featuring over 20 scenes with more to come, select the script of your choice and then jump on set for casting!
Choose the right actors for each part, and coordinate with your friends to make sure you have the best person for each role. The characters will depend on the script being fantasy, sci-fi, detective noir, or something else entirely, so choose carefully.
Want to be creative? Replay the original levels with the pre-made script disabled and re-enact your favourite movie scenes or make up your own story!
Your acting is the most important part of it all. Stellar performances are what makes or breaks a scene. Make sure you hit your marks before the cameras start rolling, then deliver your scripted dialogue, try to ad-lib, or go full improv!
Stay in character and don’t forget to use emotes! After all, actions can speak louder than words. You can also play sound effects through the in-game soundboard for extra dramatic effect.
When your crew has wrapped, you’ll all be taken to the theatre to watch your masterpiece on the big screen. Laugh, cry, and be genuinely moved by the work of art you have created together! You can even save your movie for posterity, and show others exactly why you are truly a star!
