Transference is a psychological thriller adventure video game developed by SpectreVision and Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One. It was released on September 18, 2018. [1] [2] [3]

Plot and gameplay

Transference is about a family struggling with some serious issues. It is set inside a corrupted simulation made by a brilliant but "troubled" scientist named Raymond ( Macon Blair). From the perspective of different family members, the simulation is constructed from the "brain data" of Raymond, his wife Katherine ( Lindsay Burdge), and their young son Benjamin ( Tyler Crumley), as they move through their home, discover their secrets and collect the evidence that they need to repair their lives. [4] [5] [6]

Reception

While the game received positive reviews, both Charlie Hall writing for Polygon [7] and Alessandro Barbosa writing for GameSpot [8] noted that the game's themes, centered around domestic violence, made for a disturbing, uncomfortable experience. They also both criticised the bleak, unsatisfying ending. [7] [8]

Awards

Transference was nominated for "Best VR Game" at the Golden Joystick Awards, [9] and for " Immersive Reality Game of the Year" at the 22nd Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. [10]
