Twilight Path: VR-Rätselabenteuer im Fantasy-Setting erscheint Sommer 2018

Entwicklerstudio Charm Games stellt sein neues VR-Rätselabenteuer Twilight Path vor, das noch im Sommer 2018 erscheinen soll und euch in eine fantastische Welt voller Herausforderungen führt. Der VR-Titel ist der inoffizielle Nachfolger von FORM (Juni 2017), welches für Oculus Rift, HTC Vive und Windows-VR-Brille erschienen ist.

Twilight Path – Atmosphärisches VR-Rätselabenteuer von Charm Games

Das VR-Abenteuer Twilight Path führt euch ähnlich wie FORM in eine wunderschön gestaltete Umgebung, um euer Wissen sowie eure Geduld in zahlreichen Rätseln auf die Probe zu stellen. Im Gegensatz zum Vorgänger durchlauft ihr dieses Mal jedoch kein Sci-Fi-Setting, sondern durchwandert eine Fantasy-Umgebung.

Die Spieler/innen werden in den namens gebenden Twilight Path befördert, der als mystische Zwischenebene die reale Welt mit dem Totenreich verbindet. Aufgrund eines geheimnisvollen Fluchs herrscht Chaos im surrealen Gebiet. Um einen Weg nach Hause zu finden, müsst ihr den Twilight Realm restaurieren und vom fiesen Fluch befreien. Entsprechend durchwandert ihr die surreale Umgebung und stellt euch zahlreichen Aufgaben und Rätseln, bis ihr auf die Erde zurückkehren könnt.

Twilight-Path-Charm-Games

Die Devs versprechen eine lebhafte Spielwelt mit zahlreichen Charakteren, die euch auf eurer Reise begegnen und gelegentlich begleiten. Die Steuerung funktioniert per Teleportation, indem ihr von einem festen Punkt zum nächsten springt, wo neue Rätsel auf euch warten.

Den Vorgänger FORM haben wir bereits für euch angespielt. Was euch darin erwartet, könnt ihr in unserem Testvideo anschauen:

Ein offizieller Veröffentlichungstermin wurde bisher leider noch nicht bekannt gegeben. Ebenso wurden die unterstützenden VR-Brillen bisher leider noch nicht veröffentlicht. Laut Webseite von Charm Games soll der Release des VR-Titels noch im Sommer 2018 bevorstehen.

Hands-On: Twilight Path Is The Next Enthralling VR Puzzle Game By The Creators Of Form

Update: Twilight Path will launch on October 2nd on Steam and Oculus Home for $14.99.

Original: Twilight Path from Charm Games has a strong sense of identity from its opening moments. The very second that it begins you immediately feel like you’re inside of a fully-realized virtual world, even if all you’re really doing is teleporting around while solving puzzles.

This is the follow-up to 2017’s Form, an exquisite, but extremely short, sci-fi themed puzzle game, and the feeling that these were made by the same people and perhaps even somehow exist in the same universe is palpable. Charm clearly has a strong identity and could become a go-to developer of VR puzzle games just like Owlchemy is a go-to developer of silly interaction games.

Similar to Form, Twilight Path has beautiful environments that you feel compelled to gawk at, but you won’t be running around with any artificial locomotion at all. This is just a stand in place and teleport a bit type of game, which is perfectly fine for this type of experience.

The brief demo I tried featured two primary “powers” that I used to solve puzzles: a tiny little magical orb and a telekinesis grabbing power. When I held the orb up and gazed through it, similar to the Lens of Truth in Ocarina of Time, it revealed secrets in the world. I get the feeling that this orb and the “Twilight” theme are going to play major parts in this puzzle adventure.

Obviously the biggest difference between Twilight Path and Form is just the actual setting. Whereas Form was a staunchly sci-fi game full of esoteric monuments, bright cascading lights, and floating platforms, Twilight Path feels much more grounded, even if still highly fantastical. It’s equally as gorgeous visually, just in a different style. Stylistically it actually gave me some vibes similar to The Gallery from Cloudhead, or obviously Myst.

When playing a non-VR puzzle game, I have a bad habit of getting frustrated very easily after trying a few solutions at random when I get stuck, but that doesn’t seem to happen as much in VR. Games like Twilight Path instead invite me to tinker until I found the solution. Similar to Form it didn’t feel overly difficult, but hopefully that’s just because this was only a small section of the game.

The devs clearly have a handle on how to make engaging puzzles in VR, but hopefully they can flex their narrative muscles a bit more this time around. The ancient, mystical, and mysterious world of Twilight Path is seeping with character and it’d be a shame to see that go to waste for just a thematically similar collection of puzzles. Since the demo was only a short 30-minute slice, maybe the full game dives into the world and story a bit more.

We don’t have a firm release date for Twilight Path at this time, but the website still says Summer 2018 and we expect to see it land on Rift, Vive, and Windows VR. Let us know what you think down in the comments below!

FORM-Entwickler kündigen neues Adventure Twilight Path an

Wann man als VR-Nerd an ein schönes und stimmungsvolles Spiel denkt, dann kommt einem schnell FORM von Charm Games in den Sinn. Der VR-Titel erschien letztes Jahr für die Oculus Rift und HTC Vive und stellt ein spannendes Puzzle-Game mit anfassbaren Rätseln dar. In unserem Test konnte FORM vier von fünf Freddys abstauben und auch auf Steam sprechen 375 Bewertungen mit einem „Sehr positiv“ als Durchschnitt eine eindeutige Sprache. Nun kündigen die Entwickler mit Twilight Path neues Spielefutter für Rätselfreunde an.

Twilight Path: Frische Aufgaben für Rätsel-Freunde

Mit Twilight Path werden die Entwickler wohl bei ihren Wurzeln bleiben und ein neues Spiel für Rätsel-Fans ins Rennen schicken, das in einem Fantasy-Setting angesiedelt ist und euch boshafte Götter und Geister auf den Hals hetzt. Zudem soll das Spiel auf maximalen Komfort ausgelegt sein: Weder Zeitdruck noch Tod belästigen den Spieler. Twilight Path könnte sich also sehr nah am Vorgänger halten und es wird spannend, ob die Entwickler genügend frische Ideen und Rätsel in das Spiel integrieren können, um den Zauber von FORM erneut entfachen zu können.

Derzeit ist nicht klar, wann das Spiel genau erscheint, doch die Entwickler peilen einen Release im Sommer 2018 an. Zunächst soll das Spiel nur für die HTC Vive und die Oculus Rift erscheinen, wobei ein Support von Windows Mixed Reality Headsets wohl kein größeres Problem darstellen sollte. Ob sich Charm Games auch zukünftig an die PSVR trauen wird, ist derzeit noch offen.

‘FORM’ Developers Announce Puzzle Adventure ‘Twilight Path’ for Summer 2018, Teaser Trailer Here

Charm Games, the developers behind the fantastic (albeit fairly short) otherworldly puzzle game FORM (2017), today unveiled their next upcoming VR title. Called Twilight Path, the puzzle game will take you on what Charm calls a fantasy adventure “to meet wandering spirits, enchanted sentries, and mischievous gods.”

Slated to arrive summer 2018, we don’t have a good idea yet what headsets will be supported. FORM, a game which we gave a solid [8.5/10], supports both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive – something the studio could repeat if they don’t go the exclusivity route, be it via PSVR or Oculus.

If the cinematic stylings, visual polish and clear intention behind FORM’s design is any indication, than you can color us excited for more information on Twilight Path.

While there’s still not much out there yet about the game, we found this quick blurb in the description of the teaser trailer.

Use your wits to solve puzzles, restore ruined structures, open sealed passageways, and rescue a host of magical creatures from danger

FORM Developer Charm Games Reveals VR Adventure Title Twilight Path

Charm Games cemented its reputation as a virtual reality (VR) puzzle maker last year when it launched the beautifully designed and dream like experience FORM. Today, the studio has unveiled its next project, another puzzle style videogame called Twilight Path.

Twilight Path Screenshot 02

Twilight Path is another otherworldly adventure, this time however players will encounter wandering spirits, enchanted sentries and mischievous gods. Players find themselves trapped in a mystical spirit world between the real world and the afterlife. To escape, they’ll need to solve puzzles, reshape and restore massive stone structures, open sealed passageways, and rescue a host of magical creatures from danger.

“Picked up as a passenger by Barque, a living anthropomorphic ferry, his fiery companion Singe, and whimsical faerie navigator Nix, players will learn that their only path home leads to the timeless Well of Souls,” notes the description. “Along the way, the unlikely companions will encounter a land of beauty, mystery and life. Only by restoring the Well to balance can players return to the life they left behind.”

“Twilight Path stays true to the core gameplay that made our first title a success and features experiences that are accessible to anyone, regardless of height or play area setup,” said Alan Jernigan, Co-founder of Charm Games in a statement. “Our main goal with gameplay is to carefully craft satisfying VR puzzles that unlock a path through a gorgeous and vibrant world – just as we did in FORM.”

Charm Games has ensured that Twilight Path has as fewer restrictions as can be that could hamper the gameplay experience. So players will find no timers, no death or uncomfortable movement, making sure as wider audience as possible will be able to enjoy Charm Games’ latest production.

You’ll still have to wait however as Twilight Path is scheduled for launch this Summer for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

The Best HTC Vive Games You’ve Never Played

Having covered the creme de la creme for virtual reality (VR) in our ‘Best Oculus Rift Games’, ‘Best HTC Vive Games’ and ‘Best PlayStation VR Games’ articles, VRFocus has now decided to look at those videogames you may have missed during the course of 2017 that are still worthy of your time and money.

With both the ‘Best Oculus Rift Games You’ve Never Played’ and ‘Best PlayStation VR Games You’ve Never Played’ already covered it’s now the turn of HTC Vive, with the headset having a considerable selection on offer. If you can peel yourself away from Fallout 4 VR or DOOM VFR for one moment then how about checking out these lesser-known, but still very good titles.

FORM

Mixing a science fiction storyline along with a surreal puzzle adventure, Charm Games’ FORM does just about everything right when it comes to immersing you in a fantastical VR experience. You play a scientist trying to unlock the mysteries of an ancient artifact, and in doing so are transported to an awe inspiring world filled with puzzles to test your mind, memory, hearing and more. Having launched in early June it can be quite easy for some videogames to get lost in the maelstrom that is the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).

FORM-VR-Screenshot-02

The Invisible Hours

Tequila Works’ The Invisible Hours is fairly new having only launched in October for HTC Vive. The experience is a murder-mystery who-dun-it, a virtual reality (VR) version of Cluedo for those boardgame fans. Rather than play an actual character, you’re instead a kind of fly-on-the-wall, able to freely wander around the mansion, watching the story evolve whilst uncovering an intricate web of interwoven stories to discover clues to the murder of Nikola Tesla.

The Invisible Hours screen1

Siegecraft Commander

There are a few real-time strategy (RTS) title out there for HTC Vive depending on what you’re after. One that might have escaped your attention was Siegecraft Commander by Blowfish Studios. Released at the beginning of the year, Siegecraft Commander offers an intriguing twist on tower defence style gameplay, where you have to launch your next tower from the last, with a wall interconnecting the two. This eventually leads to a carefully laid out web of towers and walls which can all come crumbling down at a moments notice should an enemy destroy a key early building with many branches leading off it. While an RTS, tower defence title may not be to everyone’s liking, it’s certainly worth a look if you enjoy a tabletop style challenge.

Siegecraft Commander - screenshot

Left-Hand Path

Another newbie that could’ve easily been overlooked thanks to another role-playing game (RPG) being released, Left-Hand Path is a Dark Souls inspired adventure that’s been created by indie studio Strange Company. Armed with arcane powers, players must wield their newly-found powers and explore to find even more powerful spells and rituals, while trying to stay alive long enough to solve the mysteries that lay before them. If you’re after a big RPG that offers something different to Bethesda then Left-Hand Path is certainly worth a look.

Left-Hand Path screenshot 1

Hurl VR

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life than can be the most rewarding but also most easily missed. For most of you reading this Hurl VR probably brings up blank expressions, sounding like a drunk party game that involves way too much liquid. That’s not the case however, as Hurl VR is about precision throwing (basketball style), trying to get a ball into a goal. Sounds easy enough but there are several types of platforms that need to be utilised to bounce and teleport the ball accurately. Hurl VR is simple to pick up yet fiendish by the end, so don’t overlook it if you’re after a cheap puzzler.

VR Weekly 24: Pimax 8K-VR-Brille, HTC und das Spiel der Woche

Chris und Patrick plaudern in dieser Woche im YouTube-Video vor allem über zwei Themen: das Pimax 8K-VR-Headset und den milliardenschweren Deal zwischen Google und HTC. Außerdem gibt es im aktuellen VR Weekly das Spiel der Woche. Das ist zwar ein „uralter Schinken“, aber bietet ein faszinierendes Rätsel-Erlebnis.

VR Weekly: HTC Vive, Pimax 8K und Form

Chris und unser Praktikant Patrick analysieren den VR-Markt: Diese Woche platzte die Bombe, Google investiert 1,1 Milliarden US-Dollar in das wirtschaftlich angeschlagene Unternehmen HTC. Was bedeutet das für das Smartphone- und VR-Geschäft des chinesischen Herstellers? Das zweite große Thema ist der Start der Kickstarter-Kampagne von Pimax. Der Hersteller hat gleich drei VR-Brillen im Gepäck, eine mit 5K-Auflösung und zwei mit 8K-Auflösung. Die größte Brille ist allerdings ein Zukunftsmodell, für das man mindestens eine NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti benötigt. Vielleicht sogar zwei. Oder eine High-End-Grafikkarte, die irgendwann in der Zukunft erscheint. Neben der Auflösung will das Modulare System aber vor allem mit dem großen Field of View von 200 Grad beeindrucken.

Form-idabel

Da wir aber nicht nur Technik-Nerds sind, sondern auch verspielte Naturen, gibt es das Spiel der Woche: Chris hat Form durchgespielt und ist äußerst angetan vom Rätsel-Titel. Allerdings fällt er mit rund einer Stunde Spielzeit zu kurz aus. Warum sich Form trotzdem lohnt, erklärt unser Redakteur im VR Weekly 24 und in seinem Test auf unserer Seite.

FORM mit der Oculus Rift im Test

Mit FORM steht ein Spiel für die HTC Vive und die Oculus Rift bereit, welches auf großartig inszenierte Rätsel, eine düstere Atmosphäre und dem Spiel mit der Ungewissheit setzt. Doch kann ein Spiel mit einer Spielzeit von knapp einer Stunde wirklich 15 Euro wert sein?

FORM mit der Oculus Rift

Ihr schlüpft im Spiel in die Rolle von Dr. Devin Eli und versucht, den Obelisk zu entschlüsseln. Glücklicherweise ist Eli mit einer besonderen Gabe der Visualisierung gesegnet und kann dem Geheimnis durch eine Reise auf die Schliche kommen, die euch in Traum-ähnliche Welten entführt.

Wenn man es ganz nüchtern ausdrücken will, dann werdet ihr in FORM von Rätsel zu Rätsel teleportiert, wobei diese zwar sehr schön gestaltet wurden, doch selten die grauen Zellen zum Schwitzen bringen. Doch FORM lebt von den kleinen Dingen. Jedes Rätsel ist mit viel Leidenschaft und einer beeindruckenden Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. So wirkt jede Mechanik durchdacht und selbst Rätsel mit kleinen Objekten lassen sich einfach mit den Touch Controllern lösen.

Insgesamt fühlt sich das Spiel wie ein einstündiger Trip durch eine verschobene Welt und nicht wie ein gewöhnliches Adventure an. Die Spiellänge ist zwar für den Preis etwas enttäuschend, doch die aufgerufene Stunde füllt FORM hervorragend. Sicherlich hätte man das ein oder andere Spielelement noch weiter ausschlachten können, doch vielleicht ist es auch gerade gut, dass FORM diesen Weg nicht geht und zur knappen Spielzeit steht. Wenn ihr einen Eindruck von den Rätseln bekommen wollt, dann skipped doch kurz durch unser Video. In diesem spielen wir den kompletten Titel durch.

Wer Rätsel-Spiele mag und sich vom vielleicht zu hohen Preis nicht abschrecken lässt, der bekommt mit FORM solide Unterhaltung geboten.

Stark
