Fireproof Games has just dropped their latest creation, Ghost Town, in the world of virtual reality. Known for their critically acclaimed title The Room: A Dark Matter, which remains a standout in the VR puzzle genre, the studio is back with something entirely fresh yet familiar in terms of gameplay depth.
For those wielding the Quest 2 and Quest 3 headsets, you can dive into this new experience right away, with plans to extend the haunting engagement to PC VR and PSVR 2 platforms later in the year. Ghost Town marks a shift in theme from their beloved The Room series, yet it stays true to the intricate puzzle-solving and immersive storytelling that Fireproof Games has mastered.
Rather than embracing the ‘horror’ label, Ghost Town thrives on suspense and mystery, offering a supernatural playground where eerie puzzles unfold. It promises to keep players guessing without descending into outright terror, which should appeal to a broader audience.
Having been in the works for nearly four years, Ghost Town is a significant milestone for the studio. It’s not just about the game design and narrative; the inclusion of a fully motion-captured cast is a leap forward for Fireproof Games. This dedication to bringing characters to life adds a new level of realism that complements the mystery-laden storyline.
Critics are already buzzing about the stunning visual experience it offers, especially on Quest headsets. Imagine stepping into a meticulously crafted 1980s London, where every shadow might conceal a secret waiting to be unraveled.
As of now, there’s still some anticipation building for the release dates on PC VR and PSVR 2, but for those eager to begin their adventure, Ghost Town is ready and waiting on the Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest 3S for $30. So, if you’re in need of a spellbinding escape filled with twists and enigmas, this latest offering from Fireproof Games might just be your next digital getaway.
