The co-creator of The VR Murder Mystery hit The Invisible Hours wants to remaster the VR Murder Mystery.

praised it as a “truly enthralling murder mystery” with “nearly faultless” character drama. It was set in an island mansion during a storm and inspired by the works of Agatha Christie. Set in an island mansion during a storm and inspired by the works of Agatha Christie, our 2017

and then an auction in April of the IP rights for the studio. It’s here where Yescombe found an opportunity.confirmed“I thought, when am I as an artist ever getting a chance like this again? To own something that I made,” Yescombe tells me over a recent video call.Tequila Works file for insolvencyYescombe’s history across VR began with Tilt Brush, later working on PlayStation VR exclusive followed after being shown a vertical slice demo. He has worked on

and other flatscreen games and films, including The Invisible Hours. However, his first VR project was The Invisible Hours. Tequila Works began exploring the possibilities of VR, which would not be possible in flatscreen gaming. This was something that everyone could do. Your grandmother can still look to the left or right even if she puts on VR. She knows that. We thought we’d build something about observation. This was our starting point. The team wanted to create a narrative that was more akin to real life. All the stories unfolded in perfect sync. What you see depends on where you are at any given moment. Technically, you can clear up the entire story within an hour even though there are seven suspects in the mansion to be investigated. Spending time in one place means missing events elsewhere, giving you different opinions on what exactly happened.

Ultimately, the original release didn’t sell as well as the studio hoped, with PlayStation VR headset adoption not matching their expectations.Farpoint“When we started planning and budgeting for it, a third party whose job it was to predict hardware sales data projected the PSVR would do five to six million units in Q4 that year. The PSVR only sold half a mil. He points out the VR market is much different today, and that headset sales are up by Twilight Zone VR. He’s searching for a publisher who will bring The Invisible Hours to new audiences. This is an entirely new game for the audience. And for a publisher who buys into that, they’re getting all the production spend essentially for the price of a remaster.”Arizona Sunshine 2Alongside a direct remaster, Yescombe is exploring a screen adaptation. This begs the questions of how to adapt such a non-linear narrative for more linear formats such as TV or film? If you read it straight through and follow another character, then there are still many plot twists. In that respect, you can do a direct adaptation. You could also think of it in the opposite way, which would be to say that this example is not necessarily how we’d do things, but is a good idea. It could be done as a series. It’s like a mini-series, where each episode represents a character perspective. You can watch them in any order. The prequel trilogy is shown before the original trilogy, and vice-versa. This changes your perception of Darth Vader. It’s still too early to say anything about the upcoming remaster, but it is unlikely that we will see an extended story. Yescombe also can’t reveal platforms yet. However, he is eager to have The Invisible Hours arrive on Quest. It’s also a great fit for PS VR2, but we also need to talk about Steam. “But for myself, I use Quest 3 daily and for convenience. It would be nice to have it on Steam.” The Invisible Hours is still available for
