1C Company, a global PC and console games publisher, today announced it is launching the story-driven action PC adventure with VR support, Unknown Fate, on September 6 following a strong reception at the just concluded gamescom 2018. At launch, the game supports PC and HTC VIVE gameplay, with Oculus Rift support coming soon via update. Additionally, the company announced it is working with Tobii, the world leader in eye tracking, to add sophisticated eye tracking features for a more immersive experience in both VR and non-VR modes, with eye tracking already implemented in non-VR mode.
“Players will be able to embark on an amazing and immersive journey in Unknown Fate when it launches next week on Steam for PC with HTC VIVE VR support,” said Nikolay Baryshnikov, VP of 1C Company. “There was tremendous excitement among players at gamescom, and we’re thrilled to be adding eye tracking support via Tobii.”
Unknown Fate (HTC VIVE and non-VR PC at launch with Oculus Rift support coming soon) is a highly story-driven first-person adventure with many puzzles to solve and enemies to beat. Players will become Richard, who suddenly passes from the real world into a surreal universe. There, he will encounter strange characters, unfamiliar artifacts and scenes resembling Richard’s former life, of which he has lost all memory. Yet he feels the world he has come to inhabit is strange and distant; he somehow knows this is not where he belongs. He feels the urge to find out more about this surreal universe and the creatures inhabiting it, to find a way back to his real self and the life he cannot fully recall.
