Plot and gameplay
Plot and gameplay
Transference is about a family struggling with some serious issues. It is set inside a corrupted simulation made by a brilliant but "troubled" scientist named Raymond (Macon Blair). From the perspective of different family members, the simulation is constructed from the "brain data" of Raymond, his wife Katherine (Lindsay Burdge), and their young son Benjamin (Tyler Crumley). Together, they move through their home, discover their secrets and collect the evidence that they need to repair their lives.

Reception
While the game received positive reviews, both Charlie Hall writing for Polygon and Alessandro Barbosa writing for GameSpot noted that the game's themes, centered around domestic violence, made for a disturbing, uncomfortable experience. They also both criticised the bleak, unsatisfying ending.
Awards
Transference was nominated for "Best VR Game" at the Golden Joystick Awards, and for "Immersive Reality Game of the Year" at the 22nd Annual D.I.C.E. Awards.
