Sight Unseen is a novel VR puzzle recreation the place you detach a robotic eye to search out options.
Developed by Fairly Fascinating Experiences, a group comprised of Abertay College graduates, Sight Unseen makes use of every lens in a different way inside your VR headset. Your removable eye is able to seeing in infrared imaginative and prescient, revealing hidden traps like lasers or pathways utterly invisible to your different eye. All whereas being armed with a gun to take down potential threats. As seen within the newest VR Recreation Highlight at EGX & MCM 2024, here is the trailer.
We went hands-on throughout the identical occasion, utilizing a headset fittingly primed with googly eyes. Accompanied by a holographic assistant, this demo supplied two imaginative and prescient modes and seeing various things throughout every eye is disorienting – to the group’s credit score, the sport warns you about this prior. Sight Unseen mitigates this with a separate “sun shades” mode that feels significantly extra consumer pleasant.
The imaginative design is straight away clear and whereas some segments are comparatively simple, the concept holds promise. Fixing puzzles together with your removable eye requires grabbing it with a controller, then both throwing it throughout the room or rolling it to a different location by means of a vent. It is a inventive method that allows you to spot hidden enemies or info like room codes, and recalling the attention again requires a fast button press.
I will be eager to see whether or not the group takes this concept additional, and the studio’s web site says Sight Unseen is getting a public launch at present through itch.io. A prototype model was beforehand launched for Quest and PC VR.
