Game mechanics

In The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR we observe the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). We take on the role of a character who sits in a carriage traversing the locations known from the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology. We visit the ghost ship from The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, the haunted English town from the 17th century that we know from The Dark Pictures: Little Hope, the maze spreading under the desert that we first saw in The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes, and the "Murder Castle" from The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me.
