Imagine playing something like Myst, but as a virtual reality game.
The meditative MC Escher-esque game Monument Valley launched just a year ago, making waves around the gaming industry with its artful optical illusions and intuitive gameplay.
The world of Ustwo’s Land’s End, an upcoming virtual-reality game for Samsung’s GearVR headset. As there are no wires connecting players to a desktop machine the controls are based on gaze and head tracking, allowing a greater freedom to explore the unusual world ustwo has created.
“When we first got our hands on a Gear VR kit, we spent two to three months trying to find a way for people to move around this world without feeling sick”, said Peter Pashley, technical director of Ustwo Games. From there you lift these constellations into the air with telekinesis in order to make them a reality. In the meantime, you can check out the new trailer for Land’s End in the video below while you wait. However, the company hopes that Land’s End changes that.

Like Monument Valley, Land’s End does seem to feature the key appeal: it won’t be so much about mind boggling puzzles, but more about the stunningly attractive gameplay, as if immersed in some land of dreams.
