Ghost Giant
F
riends can mean a lot to you
when you’re young, even the
invisible ones. Invisible, and
huge. A ghost giant, if you will- and it’s this mantle you take
up in Zoink Games’ first foray
into the realm of PS VR.
You make friends with Louis, a
little cat inhabitant of Sancourt.
Only he can see you reaching out
through virtual reality. As you’re so
much bigger than everything else,
the small town sprawls around you
almost like a diorama, and it
resembles one too thanks to a
fantastic hand-crafted style.
As you explore the town with
Louis you meet a colourful cast of
characters. You use your massive
ghost hands to interact with theenvironment, and can help the
people you meet by solving
puzzles. This in turn helps lonely
Louis connect better with the
world beyond his sunflower farm.
Using your uniquely large
perspective towering over Sancourt
you can poke and prod to uncover
secrets – and PS VR gives you a
perfect angle to do so.FORMATPS VR/PLAYERS 1 /DEV ZOINKGAMESExplore the town of Sancourt, even if it’s just in spirit

“THE SMALL
TOWN SPRAWLS
AROUND YOU
ALMOST LIKE
A DIORAMA.”
The fifth episode of this magical realist episodic
point-and-click adventure is due this year, and so is
the PS4 TV Edition that collects together the entire
journey. You play truck driver Conway as he
attempts to make a delivery to an antiques shop,
but he is waylaid as he travels from point to point
through Kentucky trying to find the mysterious
address. With a striking aesthetic, it’s an
introspective journey that centres on storytelling
rather than puzzles and needs to be experienced.
Growing up in a small town is hard enough – and
then a mysterious murder forces budding detective
Jenny LeClue to take on grown-up responsibilities
fast. When her mother becomes a suspect, it’s up to
Jenny to clear her ma’s name and save her family.
With gorgeous visuals, and a very quirky, fun
atmosphere, exploring and investigating Arthurton
looks like it will be a delight. The town is filled with
secrets, and there’s plenty to challenge Jenny’s
sharp wits – and your own.Swinging axes, spring panels, flaming fire pits... the
shops in Supermarket Shriek are either the most
bizarre or the trendiest. You ride down the aisles in
an out-of-control shopping trolley doing whatever
you can to make it through – literally screaming to
survive. Because screaming is how you control your
trolley. The main levels involve screaming on your
own, or together in co-op (with an option to use a
mic instead of a button if you want), and there are
eight-player party modes to scream in too.All roads lead to naught Leave no choice unchoosed Scream if you wanna go faster
