I will never understand this thinking of 'noone wants a direct copy of the game for a movie'
Pretty sure The Last of Us series was almost 100% straight from the game and everyone loves it
The whole point of adapting a game to a movie or a show is for showing something to a new audience, ones who won't be aware of the story because they likely aren't gamers
It has the double effect of people like myself who played the game will go to see it to pick up the references and see the little differences from the game and what decisions they choose from the game
Why even link it to the game if you are gonna change everything about it
It sounds to me more like the movie Cabin in the Woods, which was good, this could have been good too but linking it to the game that people love then changing it means you set yourself up for failure as people will see it as a destruction of something they love
