About this game Read the full description
Espire blends the classic spy-thriller action of titles like Goldeneye 007 and Metal Gear Solid with the unparalleled immersion of modern VR technology.
The technology of virtual reality has been militarized. You are an Espire Operative, piloting the remote "Model 1 Frame” from your cutting-edge Control Theater.
Infiltrate a secure IFA Facility, identify and track down the OPHIS threats, and eliminate them. Stealth is your weapon.
Key Features:
Definitive VR Stealth: Mechanics built from the ground up for VR. Use gadgets, weapons, and silence to survive.
Voice Control: Use the headset microphone to hold up guards.
Physical Immersion: No complex button combos. Crouch, lean, disarm soldiers, take cover, and reload your weapons using your physical body 1:1.
Smart AI: Enemies actively hunt you. They respond to sight, sound, and suspicion levels based on your physical stance and movement speed.
Rich Campaign: Experience a complete single-player story mode, or tackle over 75 objective-based challenge missions.
Global Leaderboards: Enter our weekly challenges and compete for the highest scores worldwide based on mission time, stealth, ammo conservation, and takedowns.
Full Freedom of Movement: The "Control Theater" comfort system is both a story element and comfort feature, allowing you to move anywhere—climbing and falling freely—without the motion sickness common in other VR titles. This optional feature can be disabled.
