Elsewhere Electric Brings Asymmetric VR-Mobile Co-op Puzzle Adventure to Meta Quest and Steam on July 23
Investigate a Strange Power Plant Together in This Atmospheric Puzzle Game
Elsewhere Electric, a haunting asymmetric co-op puzzle game where you and a partner explore the secrets of a bizarre power plant, officially launches July 23 on Quest and Steam, with its companion mobile app available free on iOS and Android.
Developed by Games By Stitch, the studio behind Broken Spectre, this innovative title blends the meditative puzzle design of The Witness with the unsettling corporate mystery of Severance, delivering an experience that’s as thought-provoking as it is eerie.
At its core, Elsewhere Electric is a two-player cooperative experience.
One player dons a VR headset to navigate the strange, abandoned power plant. In contrast, the second player uses the mobile app to uncover clues, relay information, and help solve environmental puzzles from a different perspective.
This design forces players to communicate constantly, coordinating their actions and observations to uncover the building’s secrets and move forward.
In our early preview, we described the game as a “curiously unsettling” and deeply engaging mystery. The asymmetric gameplay isn’t just a gimmick; it adds tension and immersion as you rely entirely on your partner to progress.
