The Shadows Are Watching: Out of Sight VR Coming to Steam May 22

Guide Sophie through a haunted mansion in this dark, yet accessible second-person VR experience where vision is borrowed and every shadow hides a secret.

TAMPA, FL – March 27, 2025Flat2VR Studios, in collaboration with The Gang and Starbreeze Entertainment, today announced that Out of Sight VR, the uniquely emotional and atmospheric puzzle adventure, will launch on Steam and Steam VR on May 22, 2025. This dual-format release marks the debut of Out of Sight on both traditional and virtual reality platforms, with versions for Meta Quest 3/3s and PlayStation VR2 arriving later this year.

In Out of Sight VR, you are not the hero. Not exactly.

 
You are Teddy.

 
You are the stitched and silent protector of Sophie, a blind girl trapped in a decaying mansion where shadows move when backs are turned and the walls whisper secrets best left buried. Through Teddy’s eyes, players see the world not from within the body, but beside it—guiding, watching, protecting.

 
It’s a perspective unlike anything VR has offered before. A second-person viewpoint where you are both observer and guardian. Inspired by games like Little Nightmares, Out of Sight VR blends eerie atmosphere with emotional storytelling. As Sophie stumbles through creaking corridors and locked rooms, it’s your job to scout ahead, reveal safe passage, and steer her away from the dangers she cannot see.

 
But the horrors lurking in the house can see her. And you.

 
Developed by The Gang and adapted for virtual reality by Flat2VR Studios, Out of Sight VR flips the conventional rules of immersion on their head. You don’t embody the main character—you embody her lifeline. And with that shift comes a flood of emotional weight. Every success is a sigh of relief. Every misstep feels personal.

 
The game’s haunting set pieces unfold in real time around you:
 
  • Perspective-shifting chase sequences where Teddy is physically carried, and the world spins in terrifying ways only VR can deliver.
  • Dual-perspective puzzle design, where clever positioning and problem-solving are essential to progression.
  • Narrative fragments hidden in the environment, slowly revealing the sinister history behind Sophie’s captivity and the tragic events that transformed the house into a place of nightmares. 
  • Psychological horror rooted in helplessness, where your senses betray you, and even Teddy’s watchful gaze might not be enough.
     
The mansion itself is a character—looming, breathing, watching. From cobwebbed attics to flooded basements, every creak and groan tells a story. As Sophie, you are defenseless. As Teddy, you are determined. Together, you must uncover the truth behind your imprisonment and the dark legacy that festers within these walls.

 
Out of Sight VR is not just about evading monsters. It’s about forging an emotional bond in the face of fear. It’s about being the one source of comfort for someone who can’t see what’s coming.
 
It’s about protecting someone who doesn't even know how much danger they're really in.
Out of Sight VR will launch on Steam VR on May 22, 2025 and is available to wishlist now, with Meta Quest 3/3s and PlayStation VR2 versions coming later this year.
