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. From the perspective of different family members, the simulation is constructed from the "brain data" of Raymond, his wife, and their young son, as they move through their home, discover their secrets and collect the evidence that they need to repair their lives.[4][5][6]

Reception

Awards

The game was nominated for "Best VR Game" at the Golden Joystick Awards,[7] and for "Immersive Reality Game of the Year" at the D.I.C.E. Awards.[8]

gollark: I mean, most common bad situations are going to be along the lines of "someone was rude to me at work" or "my car broke down", not "I must run away from a thing very fast" or "I have to lift a several hundred kilogram object for some reason".
gollark: That definition seems pretty orthogonal to actual common meanings.
gollark: One could say it's kind of bees.
gollark: English is very flexible about horribly misusing words.
gollark: That's obviously insulty but in a weird way, it's better to be more surreal.
