And fans couldnt be more excited.
The trailer already shows good promise, as is the overall concept for the upcoming game.
Fireproof Games have already proven themselves to be highly creative in coming up with engaging puzzles.
Heres everything we know so far aboutGhost Town.
What is Ghost Town?
Ghost Townis an upcoming single-player VR puzzle adventure game.
Itll take you to London in 1983, following a ghost hunter named Edith Penrose.
However, trouble hits close to home when Penroses brother disappears.
Story
Ghost Townis an actual town plagued by supernatural wonders.
Its story is about the mysterious disappearance of your brother.
Of late, youve been busy solving cases that have helped pay the bills.
Steam also mentions dealing with some ghosts in your bathroom mirror, which have become less haunting.
Tables turn, though, when your brother goes missing.
So, you set out chasing leads that lead you down even more twisted paths.
Youll take advantage of virtual reality to explore various areas in the first person.
These will all be steeped in an alluring atmospheric vibe.
Mechanically, youll use your controller and carry a torch to see through the dark.
While exploring,Ghost Townwill introduce new characters.
Some will be alive from the real world and reveal new information about the story.
This time, youll use your hands' dexterity to break out of tactile puzzles.
Theyll be publishing the game, too, once it’s ready.
You probably know the studio from their highly successful work inThe Roomseries.
Its an escape room puzzle game that first hit iOS platforms and became an instant hit.
Since then, the studio has released five titles that have all received mostly positive reviews.
Fireproof Games itself is a small indie studio operating out of Guildford, UK.
The studio has been working onGhost Townfor the past four years now.
Its great that the studio has taken the time to work on a new franchise.
Hopefully, the final product will be just as good asThe Roomor possibly even surpass its praises.
Trailer
Check outGhost Towns official teaser trailer, which was launched on YouTube.
Right off the bat, the visuals stand out.
Fireproof has really outdone itself, crafting a deeply spooky and atmospheric environment.
The trailer is also well done, building on suspense and mystery to an invigorating close.
Youre operating your ghost-hunting business from the premises of a particularly impatient landlord.
But you have bigger fish to fry with some nightmarish creatures emerging from your bathroom wall.
Overall, the graphics are fantastic in capturing an eerie and atmospheric vibe.
They seem to dwell more on the spooky front than the horrific extreme.
Its also unclear at the moment what kind of puzzles youll be solving.
Release Date, Platforms, & Editions
Ghost Townwill be coming soon.
Rumors have it that the launch window will fall sometime in 2025.
However, official confirmation remains unclear.
That way, you’ve got the option to receive a notification as soon as the game drops.
As for the editions, they remain under wraps for now.
