Created by The Gang, Out of Sight places players in the role of Sophie, a blind girl navigating a harrowing mansion through the perspective of her beloved teddy bear. Players must manipulate the bear to gain various perspectives on mind-bending puzzles. The main challenge is to elude the threats posed by Sophie’s captors while uncovering the dark secrets tied to her situation. This exciting news was revealed during the VR Games Showcase, and you can view the trailer below.
In the VR adaptation, players take control of Sophie’s adorable bear, which allows them to manipulate Sophie’s actions while enhancing their field of vision. The gameplay stays true to the original, as evidenced by the tense segments showcased in the trailer. These include instances where Sophie moves items onto pressure plates and climbs onto a waiter’s trolley to activate levers, all seen from the unique perspective of the teddy bear.
