Paper Beast, there’s something for all the family at all skill levels. Another to add to this roster is
Stargaze, a cosmic puzzler by indie team Played With Fire where you can inspect and explore strange new worlds.
This story-based puzzler mixes astronomy with a little bit of magic, where you play an astronomer detailing curious planets, discovering what lifeforms inhabit them, and then putting your findings into a research journal. From the outset it’s easy to tell
Stargaze is a VR title that suits those new to the technology, as the workspace nicely caters for a seated experience where everything is within arms reach – although you can wander around a bit with smooth locomotion.
Polish indie studio Played With Fire launched its first virtual reality (VR) title
Stargaze last year for PC VR headsets. Next week will see the cosmic puzzle experience arrive on the Oculus Store for Oculus Rift, with the team also confirming an Oculus Quest edition is in development.
Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s early 20th-Century novella The Little Prince,
Stargaze is an interstellar journey where you play an astronomer observing life on other planets. The aim is to complete your research book, taking photos and manipulating light via a rather magical telescope to view the various events taking place.
