Comedian Nick Frost makes his Gear VR debut in 'Esper 2'
The light-hearted physics-based puzzle game is out tomorrow.
Something about virtual reality and games about exploring the mind or using your mind to control objects around you just seem to go together extremely well. Case in point, the Gear VR launch title Esper has a sequel and it's out tomorrow from developer Coatsink Software. Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead fans who play it might even notice a familiar voice: Nick Frost. The English funnyman lent his voice to Esper 2, the game about agents tasked with dealing with the consequences of a recent epidemic of folks gaining telekinetic powers. The overall production values are pretty impressive, actually.
If all that sounds oh so serious, the video below should allay any of those concerns. The idea here seems more Portal-style puzzles and humor than a heavy-handed yarn about great power begetting great responsibility. If you snagged yourself one of the consumer model Gear VR headsets, well, now you have something new to check out this week.
