The trend of AI-generated vertical videos featuring Soviet-era aesthetics has expanded with new characters and a separate horror series, as highlighted by the Telegram channel Highroller.
This trend was initially launched by the iGaming operator JoyCasino, which incorporated native branding and promo codes into the videos. Now, the brand Winkey.casino has joined the movement.
New characters have been added to the existing lineup, including the caracal Shlyopa, a hybrid of an elephant and a cat named Tyrya, as well as Slizun and Brdysh, each with their own absurd storyline.
Simultaneously, a horror series titled 'Incidents' is developing, drawing inspiration from popular internet franchises like SCP Foundation and Backrooms. Each video in this series describes the viewer's entry into one of the numbered situations and outlines step-by-step rules for escape.
