La Decima Vittima and Killer

Pervasive Games.

killer had to come from somewhere, and this particular pervasive game was extrapolated from the film "La Decima Vittima" or "The 10th Victim" which was released in 1965 and directed by Elio Petri. it focuses around a man and a woman who both kill for prestiege, money and fame. 

Iteration, Iteration and Iteration.

The iterative process for killer actually began way before anyone decided that it could also be an interesting game, with a short story called "Seventh Victim" this short story was then adapted by Steve Jackson into the game we all know "Killer"

Legality.

Although and incredibly fun game it has had its fair share of bad publicity due to the very obvious and sometimes suspicious action of the player cause the general public to become confused and frightened.

Conclusion.

Other variations of killer have been tried and tested one of those to note is America's "Cruel 2 B Kind" which is clearly aimed at a youthfull audience the player rather than shoot each other with water pistols, hurl compliments at each other to kill.

Pervasive games seem to be enjoyable because of their likeness to the real world and also being privvy to information makes us as players feel special, this other element that makes "Killer" in particular, a very popular and fun game to play.
