LIGHT TRACER Announced for PS4 VR
August 7, in the year of our Lord 2017 –
Oasis Games Ltd, a leading independent Chinese publisher, today
announced that its new Puzzle Platform VR game, LIGHT TRACER,
will launch in the West this September for PlayStation®VR. In
the indie-developed game, players will lead a princess to the
top of an enigmatic, Babel-like tower to save her ailing people,
using powers and a Light Staff to guide the princess while
manipulating objects to create a safe path for her.
LIGHT TRACER combines platform-style movement and clever puzzles
with unique play mechanics and delightful artwork. In the game,
the player controls a mysterious entity who can wield a magical
Light Staff in one hand while using its other hand to interact
with the game world, helping the Princess reach the safety of
the tower’s pinnacle. The Light Staff guides the Princess
forward while the player manipulates the world to get a better
view, interacts with object triggers and moves items to turn
barriers into bridges. As the player progresses, the entity’s
hidden relationship with the princess is gradually revealed.
“LIGHT TRACER brings a new style of platform game to PS VR
players, offering a journey of challenging puzzles, colossal
heights and artistic visuals,” said Alen Wu, Business Director
at Oasis Games. “You’ll need both hands to save the Princess:
one to guide her using your Light Staff and the other to spin
and manipulate the mysterious tower to open a path to save her
people from a tragic fate.”
The Princess’s journey comprises eight varied chapters ranging
from ice to gravity puzzles to mechanical contraptions, and each
level ends with a challenging boss fight requiring strategy as
well as quick reflexes. Players will guide the Princess through
action-platform stages with jumping, timing and enemies—but they
must also engage with mind-bending puzzles in each level. Often
the solution depends not only on your intellect, but also in the
way you look at things!
