Ghost City – the spooky, 80s-set VR puzzle-adventure from the studio behind the acclaimed The Room collection – is a real deal with, and one which’s poised to shake off its former Meta Quest exclusivity very quickly. Developer Fireproof Video games has introduced Ghost City’s paranormal delights will likely be out there on PC by way of Steam VR from subsequent Tuesday, fifteenth July.
Ghost City whisks gamers again to the London of 1983, the place protagonist Edith Penrose – who runs a mystical detective company midway up a South London council block together with her tech savvy flatmate Rina – is looking for her lacking brother, Adam. The following city fantasy journey takes gamers first to a distant Scottish island after which round numerous immaculately realised London locales, which I will not spoil right here.
It is improbable stuff, filled with intelligent puzzling, satisfyingly tactile environmental interactions (in the event you love The Room collection, you may really feel proper at house right here), and only a brilliantly cinematic method to its storytelling as Ghost City leaps by time and its splendidly orchestrated set-pieces. There is a bit in a lighthouse that could be certainly one of my favorite gaming moments this yr! It helps, too, that its small solid of characters is delivered to life by some stellar performances.

There’s nonetheless no replace on that PlayStation VR 2 model, however the studio has now confirmed Ghost City is coming to Steam VR in only a few days time, on fifteenth July.
It is unclear if Ghost City’s PC launch will carry any enhancements to make the most of the doubtless beefier {hardware} at gamers’ disposal, however I’ve requested Fireproof and can report again if I hear something. Till then, you possibly can wishlist Ghost City now, and a demo’s out there too.
