How Ghost Town Balances VR Freedom and Player Comfort

In this Unity-produced explainer, the team behind the VR puzzle-adventure game 'Ghost Town' discusses their design philosophy centered on player agency and comfort. They explain how they move beyond the constraints of previous VR titles by creating a free-roaming environment that encourages exploration while maintaining high detail levels to guide player attention. The designers prioritize reducing motion sickness through high frame rates, 'soft guidance' via environmental storytelling, and providing optional comfort settings like vignettes and step movement, aiming to ensure that all players can complete the game regardless of their physical comfort in VR.
