Original Article (June 11th, 2018): Transference is a psychological thriller from SpectreVision and Ubisoft that aims to bridge the gap between movies and games by blending live action sequences with rendered environments into a perspective-shifting narrative.

Taking you into the tale of a man’s obsession, you explore his digitally recreated memories, something the studio calls a “maze-like puzzle concealing a corrupted truth,” which projects you into the digital consciousness of multiple troubled case subjects, giving you the ability to influence their fate.

The experience is said to arrive sometime in Fall 2018 (see update) on PSVR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PC, XBox One, and PS4. It also includes support for respective motion controllers.

Here’s a description taken from the experience’s launch trailer.

Plunge into the experiment of a troubled scientist, a corrupted digital simulation of his family formed using their collective brain data. Shift between the three perspectives of a family and unravel the mystery hiding in this mind-bending psychological thriller.
