Square Enix Goes Live With Interactive Game Teaser for 'Project CKP' (VIDEO)
Square Enix has just gone live with the first part of their reveal for "Project CKP," a title currently under development by one of its western studios.
After announcing it would release hints of the upcoming interactive game codenamed "Project CKP" via Twitch stream, Japanese video game developer and publisher, Square Enix debuted their first live stream piece of "Can't Kill Progress" on the Twitch channel today.
The teaser footage shows a man locked in a futuristic-looking prison cell and pacing its confines. The clip is set to play for three consecutive days before it reportedly culminates into a full reveal of the new game.

Viewers will be given the opportunity to vote during various points of the looping footage to decide what is presumably to be the fate of the prisoner featured in the teaser.
The looping teaser video shows the prisoner lying on the floor, getting up, pacing and cursing at his behind-the-scene captors, and even touching the electrified walls. The prisoner is presumably tormented with piped-in classical folk music, and gets his jacket stolen by a man with a metallic prosthetic arm.
The stream also directs viewers to a fuzzy and glitchy video, which upon closer examination shows the prisoner undergoing torture.
From the futuristic sci-fi theme featured in the looping clip and the presence of the robot-armed man, gaming insiders are speculating the upcoming game may have some connection with cyberpunk role playing shooter game, Deus Ex, particularly following a statement made by David Anfossi, Square Enix's Montreal studio chief, who announced in 2013 that Deus Ex may be expanding its universe significantly in the future.
The final voting for the game will end on April 8, Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time and 4:30 p.m. UK time, finally revealing the full Square Enix teaser.
