The Sims are now the subject of an unchoreographed online TV Show, which “points to the future of interactive storytelling,” according to its makers.

SuperMe simply drops four of the popular EA characters into a situation then records the ensuing interaction – each character has different ambitions which will be documented via the show.

“It’s incredibly moving and funny at times, and a true collaboration between humans and robots,” said Paul Bennun, the chief creative officer at production company Somethin’ Else. “We have become very attached to them. We are delighted to be able to work with Channel 4 Education to make it real.”

“This is one of the most exciting projects we have made yet and points to the future of interactive storytelling.”

The first episode of SuperMe is available to watch online now.
