A spy-themed escape-the-room puzzle game created specifically for virtual reality, I Expect You To Die is coming to PlayStation VR in December 2016, Schell Games announced today. The Oculus Touch version will be out on December 6, but a price wasn’t given for either version.
Although the objective in I Expect You To Die is to escape the room, dying is a big part of the game. There are more than 30 ways to die, with all of them fitting into six categories: explosion, fire, laser, gunshot, drowning, and suffocation. After you die, there will be a coroner’s report to remind you how you died.
To help keep I Expect You To Die from getting frustrating, Schell Games created two strict rules for each death: Always have at least one clue before a death trap, and make it clear why you died so you’d learn for the next playthrough.
“In fact, for each level we had three or more ways the game would try to kill you and three or more ways you could accidentally kill yourself,” adds Design Director Shawn Patton. “When deciding on new venues for puzzles, we’d always make sure that there would be interesting ways to die that would be in theme.”
