How it feels

A quiet, focused puzzle game where you move objects with your mind at your own pace, guided by a calm voiceover.

What players say

Players describe ESPER as a very short, seated VR puzzle game heavily inspired by Portal and The Stanley Parable. The puzzles are simple and the game lasts about two hours, which leaves some feeling it is overpriced. The controls are a point of disagreement, some find them fine, while others say they are frustrating and that the game fails to make good use of VR.
