The Office’s Andy Buckley to star in interactive video game Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus?

Wales Interactive and Good Gate Media’s interactive video game Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? will be unveiled in March.

Announced today, the game will feature The Office’s Andy Buckley as Uncle Marcus along with Abigail Hardingham (Nina Forever, The Missing), Susannah Doyle (Black Mirror, Drop The Dead Donkey, About A Boy), Robbie Kay (Once Upon a Time, Pinocchio), Georgia Small (Five Dates) and Al Weaver (The Complex). A game trailer can be seen below.

The synopsis for the title reads:

Every year, Abby’s mum has a family quiz on her birthday. It’s a long-held tradition, one that brings the whole rich and eccentric family together – and one that Abby dreads. But this year’s quiz comes with a shocking difference… as it’s about to begin, her beloved Uncle Marcus tells her that he’s dying – and someone in the family has poisoned him. Abby is the only one he can trust… You must find out who the murderer is before it is too late.

Dr David Banner MBE, Executive Producer/Co-Founder, Wales Interactive said this about the forthcoming title:

“We’re proud to kickstart our 2022 slate of interactive movies with WPMOUM, a quirky murder mystery, co-produced by Good Gate Media, and developed with our in-house narrative tool WIST (Wales Interactive Scripting Tool). As fans of The Office (U.S.) we couldn’t be happier to have the hilarious Andy Buckley on-board as well as some familiar FMV fan favourites from the likes of Five Dates and The Complex.”
