Transference tells the surreal story of the Hayes family, who've been trapped in an eerily corrupted simulation of their own consciousness – but they weren't the first subjects to become entangled with the technology. The Walter Test Case, a free demo available now on PS4, is a prequel set several years before the events of Transference, and gives players the chance to explore the digitally captured memories of a PTSD sufferer.
As in the full game, players will investigate a twisted, dynamic environment, in this case an apartment building filled with otherworldly puzzles. Also like the full game, you'll be able to immerse yourself in The Walter Test Case with a PlayStation VR headset, or experience the mystery without VR, on your TV.
Created in collaboration with SpectreVision – a production company founded by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and John C. Waller – the full Transference experience will be released on PS4 and PC on September 18, with support for PSVR on PS4, as well as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive on PC.
