This is a complete rewrite from scratch of the FMV game Late Shift from CtrlMovie studio. It runs on OpenFMV engine, an FMV game engine wrote from scratch to mimic Wales Interactive engine used for their FMV games.

Late Shift is a high stakes FMV crime thriller. Forced into a brutal London heist, your choices matter in this interactive cinematic experience with adaptable storylines that lead to one of seven conclusions. Your decisions are you.

The homebrew was entered into FuHEN Homebrew Contest (Port, 1st place).

Launch Total Commander and navigate up to your purchased copy of the game main folder.
Right click on "Converted" folder; it will turn red.
Click on "File -> Pack".
Set "psarc" as Compressor and then click on "Configure" button right below.
Set "PSARC Version" to 1.3, "Compression" to ZLIB and "Ratio" to 0 and press "OK".
Press "OK" to launch the compression, it will create a file in C:\Converted.psarc. (If you get an error, manually change the location in the command line string psarc: DESTINATIONFOLDER\Converted.psarc).
