Shadow drop
I don’t blame you if you forgot all aboutErica. We first heard about the live-action thriller in 2017,during Sony’s Paris Games Week proceedings, and the project hasn’t had much to show in the time since. The PS4 exclusive is finally back– not just with another trailer, but the release itself. It’s out today!
What’s the deal with the fingerprints? “Enjoy pioneering live-action technology, with your smartphone as the controller which lets you interact with Erica’s world. Perform actions such as delicately wiping a tear from her cheek or flipping through the pages of a book as you dig deeper into Erica’s world.” The game is aPlayLinkjoint through and through, meaning it’s meant to be a social experience.
“Our big thing was we wanted to make this as interactive as other games, where you’re touching the world in a very tactile way, so we had to build this technology from the ground up,” Flavourworks director Jack Attridge said on-stage during Gamescom: Opening Night Live.
One of the big selling points is choice-driven variation, with Attridge promising “ambitious branching.”
