Transference is described as a first-person exploration game and is now available in both VR and non-VR flavors. Depending on your platform of choice, you can now try to escape a strange scientific experiment in VR on the PSVR, Oculus Rift, or HTC Vive systems. For non-VR gamers, Transference will also work on a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on Windows PC.
Elijah Wood first showed off Transference at the Ubisoft presser at E3 earlier this summer and certainly caused a stir with the unique premise. Not many details were available at the time, and Transference still seems to be a game best experienced, not read about.
“Whether playing in VR or non-VR, players will find themselves in an escape room like situation inside the experiment of a troubled scientist. They’ll shift between the three perspectives of family members and attempt to find out the disturbing truth,” said Transference producer Kévin Racapé. “Transference is a visceral, engaging experience, and we can’t wait for players to enjoy unraveling the mystery in this mind-bending psychological thriller.”
For gamers that are unsure if the experience is for them, or wondering if it’s perhaps too scary, there is a demo available. The free downloadable demo, The Walter Test Case, is available on PlayPlayStationand PlayStation 4 systems in both VR and non-VR and serves as a prequel to the full game.
Transference is rated M for Mature and is now available for $33.49 in both VR and non-VR on PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive, as well as on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

Great Point Media will launch sales on the under-the-rader completed movie at Toronto. We can debut first footage from the film.

Posted onWritten bymarcieComments Off on Transference Gameplay Video Features a Disturbing Journey Through a Corrupted Mind
“Transference,” the trippy psychological thriller from Ubisoft and SpectreVision, was on hand during Gamescom 2018. In a new gameplay walkthrough trailer, it was revealed to be an even spookier affair than players had imagined.
The video finds players heading down to a large red Harmony Labs door with a “keep out” sticker plastered on the front before abruptly turning around and heading to another creepy location. A voice whispers “this was our house,” and there’s a figure seen running away at the end of a dimly-lit corridor, clearly decorated for a child’s birthday party. Eerie whispers of a child asking “have you seen my dog?” and other bizarre goings-on litter the segment, and it’s truly disconcerting.
The game is described as a journey into a “corrupted mind,” which has chilling implications. The atmosphere is similar to “P.T.,” prototype of Hideo Kojima-helmed “Silent Hills” with real-life horror sprinkled throughout. There’s a selection of strange prisms that dot the landscape as well, with some frankly disturbing sound effects and situations to explore.
“Something’s gone wrong,” a voice is overheard saying near the end of the clip, after a frenzied young boy calls for his father, asking him to “tell him what to do.”
“Dad, I’m scared, there’s something here with me!” cries young Ben as his father prompts him to go to the garage. The video doesn’t show what’s chasing the child, but it will likely be something terrifying.
“Transference” is headed to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Sept. 18. It has doffed its previous VR requirement, and there is now a demo available for players to try out via the European PlayStation Store. The project, partially the brainchild of actor Elijah Wood, certainly looks like it has the potential to chill players.
