Fans of The 7th Guest will be excited to see that we have a new way to experience it all with the announcement for The 7th Guest VR
The VR mania is still going here with the next big announcement we have for The 7th Guest VR. It looks as if Vertigo Games did not want to be left out of another title for the PC VR mix and is bringing us all one more. This one is a full VR recreation of The 7th Guest but mixing the live-action performances and puzzles into the mix of a virtual space. It is something that I am surprised has not been the standard out there in gaming for a while now. Yet, here we go with one more big step forward into a world we might never have fully explored before.
Yes, as it turns out, this version of The 7th Guest will be using some of the latest tech and volumetric storytelling in the mix to bring us all further into the world being crafted. That is, we will have some 3D live-action performances to interact with to get the haunting story out there along with some reworked puzzles to make the mansion a little more engaging this time around for The 7th Guest. As if it was not already to that level before, just not the perfect thing for VR. Have a look and see what we have to tease as we wait to see just how much further involved the whole project will be down the line.
