DOWNWARD SPIRAL: HORUS STATION

FORMAT PS4, PS VR ETA 2018 / PUB 3RD EYE STUDIOS / DEV 3RD EYE STUDIOS Riffing on 2001: A Space Odyssey and Black Mirror, this space-set PS VR thriller is aiming to change how we play narrative games. There are no audio diaries or voiceovers. Instead the story unfolds as you observe your surroundings. Combat uses scavenged tools, like arc welders, to root you in the game’s world. Equally unique is movement; in zero gravity you need to push off walls to gain momentum. If the idea of zero-G conflict in VR has you reaching for a bucket, use Explorer mode for a slower, puzzle-focussed game.
