On its official blog, developer Maximum Games has announced that its first virtual reality game, Loading Human, will debut as a PlayStation VR launch title.
Loading Human is an episodic adventure game with a science fiction slant similar in tone to films like Moon, where reality is questionable and the player will need to make sense of strange events. Maximum Games describes Loading Human as being strongly character-focused:
“...The game calls into question the power of memories and emotions, and how our thoughts and experiences can be manipulated to serve an ulterior motive.”
Loading Human will be coming to other VR devices, however it won’t be on the same day. As Maximum Games says:
“The first chapter of Loading Human will initially debut on PlayStation VR on October 13th, with releases for Oculus Rift and Vive following shortly afterward ... Releasing on the same date as the launch day for the PS VR, Loading Human gives you the perfect story-driven game to kick off your virtual reality gaming experience.”
The game requires motion controls, and can currently be pre-ordered through US retailer GameStop for US$39.99. There is currently no word on how or when future chapters of the game will be released.
