Out of Sight, the groundbreaking psychological horror adventure from Starbreeze Entertainment and indie studio The Gang, is now available on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Developed with Flat2VR, a Steam VR version launches today, with Meta Quest and PlayStation VR2 releases coming soon. A Nintendo Switch version will follow in June.
This innovative horror experience flips traditional gameplay on its head through its rare second-person perspective. Players don’t control Sophie, the blind protagonist – instead, they see the world through the eyes of her stuffed bear, Teddy. Using audio cues, environmental vibrations, and the emotional bond between girl and toy, players must guide Sophie through a haunted mansion filled with disturbing secrets. What begins as a simple exploration evolves into a harrowing journey where reality and nightmare blur.
What makes Out of Sight particularly remarkable is its origin story. Born as a student project at Sweden’s Futuregames academy, the prototype’s emotional impact caught Starbreeze’s attention, leading to full production support. The final product delivers on that early promise with:
- Unprecedented second-person gameplay as Teddy
- Sound-based navigation in complete darkness
- Psychological horror that plays with perception
- Environmental puzzles with survival elements
- A layered narrative revealing tragic secrets
“Out of Sight changes how we experience stories in games,” says Anna Erlandsson of The Gang. “It’s personal, unsettling, and deeply moving.” Starbreeze’s CMO André Persson adds, “This is exactly the kind of inventive, heartfelt project we love to support.”
Priced at $24.99 / €24.99 / £20.99, Out of Sight offers horror fans a fresh narrative approach that’s already earning praise for its emotional depth and creative vision. As players begin exploring Sophie’s world, the game stands as proof that indie innovation can redefine an entire genre.
