In today era of virtual reality’s rebirth everyone is wondering: what kind of experiences are most suitable for a comfortable VR experience? While seemingly most fitting first-person-perspective shooters turned out to be a number one headache activators, the Polish developer Tom Graczyk proposes a third-person-perspective position in his freshly released title Space Box: The Journey out of the Box. Originally developed for a “normal mode” this 3D puzzle platformer turns out it was meant to be a VR game. When placing an iPhone into any VR googles all platforms’ positions seem a lot clearer with a stereoscopic view and ability to freely look around makes puzzles more enojyable. Guiding the main character without any hands controller, but only by the head movement provides a vivid platform style action right before your eyes – not in your brain causing unpleasant nausea. The amount of interface boiled down to a minimum also adds to a pleasant virtual reality experience.
Looks like “thinking outside the box” in terms of a VR experience has given a new meaning to the message of Space Box. You can experience it right now: for free on the App Store!
