It was an interesting challenge, says Cogs & Marvels creative director, Jon Hozier-Byrne.
How can you tell a complex story in the simplest narrative form?
The answer isBanshees: The Game, a short, hilarious, 8-bit game that you could playright here.
Banshees: The Game distils the films plot.
As you progress, other characters from the film join Farrell and take on the role of Pac-Mans ghosts.
Alas, you cant eat the ghost stand-ins here, sadly, however much you want to.
Theres a plucky retro soundtrack, which is always a treat, and Inisherins comedy isnt lost in translation.
Ill be spending the rest of today trying to beat the game and see its last few jokes.
I can hear you guys wondering already, why arent there more video game homages to Oscar-nominated films?
Turns out, 2023s Oscars actually have plenty.
I won’t say why, though.
You’ll have to watch the film.
