Developer Spectrevision, Ubisoft Fun House Publisher Ubisoft Format PC, PS4, PSVR, Rift, Vive, Xbox One Release Spring 2018

The latest product of Fun House, the small outfit at Ubisoft Montreal with an experimental brief, sees the team partner up with Spectrevision, an LA VFX firm co-founded by one Elijah Wood.
