Playthrough of 3Vision Gamers and Capcom's 1996 full-motion video (FMV) interactive movie game for the PlayStation, Fox Hunt.

Fox Hunt is a 1996 interactive movie game developed by 3Vision Gamers and published by Capcom for the PlayStation. It belongs to the niche genre of full-motion video (FMV) games that gained popularity in the mid-90s, combining live-action video sequences with point-and-click gameplay and quick-time events. The game follows Jack Fremont, a slacker who finds himself caught up in a comedic spy thriller, parodying James Bond-style espionage with absurd characters and intentionally exaggerated performances.

Gameplay is a mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and timed reactions during video sequences. Players interact with the environment by choosing actions, navigating through scenes, and completing mini-games that affect the story’s progression. The tone is intentionally campy, leaning into B-movie aesthetics and surreal humor, with segments that feel more like an experimental film than a traditional game. While the controls can feel clunky by modern standards, the novelty of controlling a live-action narrative gives the game a distinct identity.

Fox Hunt was released during a time when developers were experimenting with the capabilities of CD-ROM technology and cinematic storytelling in games. Though it didn’t achieve mainstream success and received mixed reviews at the time, it has since gained a cult following for its ambitious structure, offbeat humor, and status as one of the more bizarre entries in Capcom’s library. It stands today as a curiosity from an era when video games were still figuring out how to blend interactivity with live-action film.
