"Ghost Town" lets you investigate paranormal phenomena in the London of the 80s
The VR hit studio Fireproof Games has unveiled a new game that combines clever puzzles with a spooky atmosphere.
There have been a few teasers over the past few days, but now the cat is out of the bag: Fireproof Games has unveiled a new VR game called Ghost Town.
In Ghost Town, you take on the role of Edith Penrose, a witch turned ghost hunter who runs a successful paranormal investigation agency. Set in 1983, Edith roams the haunted streets of London, tracking down and exorcising restless spirits.
Her world is turned upside down when her brother disappears and a mysterious new lead promises clues to his whereabouts. Edith's journey begins with a visit to a remote Scottish island in the hope that a gifted psychic can provide some much-needed answers.
Players must use a combination of logic, mystical knowledge, and ancient magic to help Edith see beyond our world, recognize the unseen, and solve eerie mysteries that lie between her and her brother. The studio promises tactile puzzles, spell casting and summoning of spirits.
A second VR hit in the making?
Ghost Town is being developed by British studio Fireproof Games, known for the escape room game series The Room and the VR game The Room VR: The Dark Matter. The latter is one of the most popular Meta Quest games with over 13,000 reviews.
Four years of development have gone into the new project. If Ghost Town turns out to be as atmospheric, creepy and challenging as The Room VR, then we can expect a real VR highlight. Unfortunately, we don't know exactly when the VR game will be released, but the studio says it's coming soon.
You can already wishlist Ghost Town in the Horizon Store for Meta Quest, in the Playstation Store for Playstaton VR 2 and on Steam for PC VR headsets.
