I played this in VR on a Quest 3 with the Touch controllers, and the controls just didn’t work when using either Virtual Desktop or Steam Link. However, through MetaQuest Air Link, the controllers functioned correctly, and I was able to play the game as intended. I also had no issues with uPlay, so as of early 2025, the game is very much playable with this setup. Transference actually has a decent story that I enjoyed, told in multiple ways through audio logs, video logs (FMV), and various in-game events. I’ve always had a soft spot for FMV games ever since I played Under a Killing Moon back in the day, so it’s great to see modern games incorporating this style. I think the graphics are quite good, and I often found myself just looking around and enjoying the scenery, though it might not meet everyone’s standards. The audio design deserves a special mention, as it’s fantastic! You hear voices all around you, with eerie sounds kicking in at just the right moments. The soundscape definitely elevates the game significantly. The horror elements aren’t too intense, even for someone like me who generally avoids scary games, but there were definitely a few moments that really got me, and my heart rate spiked through the roof more than once! I do wish the puzzles were a bit more intricate and prominent because, as it stands, it mostly feels like an interactive VR walking simulator. That said, I still had fun, and I ended up completing the game in one sitting, even though I hadn’t planned on playing that long. I was initially just trying to get the game to work correctly! Recommended! 7/10.

An incredibly interesting walking sim. Honestly a huge fan of it's story and vibe. But here I am trying to replay it in 2024 and the Uplay/Ubisoft log-in literally refuses to work. I literally can't log-in to a game I OWN. I literally can't PLAY A GAME I OWN. Cool cool cool. Fuck me I guess. I really wanted to replay a fascinating game experience I loved a few years ago and wanted to re-experience today, but fuck me Ubisoft, fuck me.

The story is spectacular and has so much potential. A very well-thought premise that was thoughtfully played in front of our eyes. It combines Layers of Fear with Observer but unfortunatly its a VERY short game. While most games of this level usually take 4-6 hours to complete, this game can be completed in about maybe 2 hours? That was the only dissapointing thing for me, simply because I wanted more. Good game, but catch on sale...not worth the money for the length of the game
