Witness Sin Episodes 1 (and thank Christ there were no more), which thinks letting you turn your head a bit while some nauseatingly unconvincing boobs are dangled over you , and then forcing you to endure a five minute car journey during which you can CHANGE SEATS is a similar level of interactive scene-setting.
