Black Mirror · Season 1, Episode 15

Shou Saito, Cooper and others in “Unfinished Business”

SSShou Saito

I've always liked to make the player jump. Frightened. You get scared, you jump. Afterwards, you feel good. Why?

Uh, um, because of the adrenaline rush?

SSShou Saito

Yes. But mostly because you are still alive. You have faced your greatest fears in a safe environment. It is a release of fear. It liberates you.

Yeah. I mean, totally.

SSShou Saito

What we are working on now is the most personal survival horror game in history.

[laughs] Cool.

SSShou Saito

One that works out how to scare you by using your own mind.

Whoa! That... that sounds crazy. Can't wait!

I'm uploading a neural net package.

[still amused] "Neural net packing". "Neuronet". Hmm... Name could use a little work, I think, it's all 90s. I'm just kidding, it's a good name.

It's state of the art intelligence software. It learns and adapts on the fly. It'll monitor your brain activity and try and work out how best to frighten you, and then adjust to your experience accordingly.

Whoa!

SSShou Saito

Are you ready?

Oh yeah. Beam me up! Here we go, lock and load.
