In the midst of the hype of the recent premiere of Season 5 of multi award-winning series Mad Men comes a Mad Men-themed interactive video on YouTube created by The Fine Brothers.
Combining gameboy-style graphics with the characters and settings of Mad Men, writer and director Doctor Octoroc allows users to step into the shoes of Don Draper, completing tasks to save Sterling Cooper. With three alternate endings, the future of the company rests in the hands of the user whose decisions will determine which outcome will be reached.
With a similar aesthetic to old-school Pokemon games popular back in the '90s, the syncopated music and references to Roger's promiscuity and Don's heavy drinking make for a pretty neat game.
