The Peterson Case is a title from developers Quarter Circle Games which places you in the shoes of detective Franklin Reinhardt as he tries to unravel the mystery behind 2 missing families. Built in Unity 5 with VR support, it looks both wonderfully atmospheric and frankly terrifying.

The UK based developers of The Peterson Case, Quarter Circle Games, are currently running a Steam Greenlight campaign for the title – pitched to release on PC and Xbox One with ‘VR support’ (no details on precisely which VR platform though).

The title promises a semi procedural approach to gameplay sessions, with clues randomised on a per play-through basis, which is a neat way to unsettle players interested in replay value.

What impresses most is the attention to detail and lighting the developers have lavished on this glimpse at the title – playing with shadow in virtual reality can be a particularly effective way to unnerve players, and given how effective just the video manages that, god knows what it’d be like with a VR headset strapped to your face.

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.
