The Invisible Hours

It may only take a couple of hours at most to experience everything that The Invisible Hours has to offer, but it’s a couple of hours well worth investing. Its narrative, complete with twists, turns and sideplots, will keep you gripped from start to finish; and you’ll be hitting that rewind button with gusto, keen not to miss anything. It’s something different, for sure, but certainly not in a bad way. Tequila Works has done a standout job of bringing to life a wonderful story in an unusual and accessible way, and I’d love to see more like this.

If the world is a stage and we are all players, then that means we must all simultaneously be the protagonists of our own stories, right? Look beyond the crude clichés and there’s a point to that opening sentence: The Invisible Hours exposes what it would be like to act as a fly on the wall in a house where every inhabitant has a secret to hide.

A fascinating experiment that appropriates PSVR technology to create immersive theatre, The Invisible Hours is quite unlike anything else on Sony’s Virtual Reality platform.

Crooked House.

There’s a complex narrative arcing across all of The Invisible Hours, and Tequila Works found a novel way to present it. It’s the rare video game that requires no real player intervention to complete. But, the best possible payoff is a result of diligently following all the stories and getting a full picture of all the proceedings. By the end, you’ll feel as if you cleverly solved this murder. In all actuality, you only watched the murder solve itself. That is The Invisible Hours‘ greatest theatrical feat.
