It's not a game that gets talked about much ever, but Chronos is a VR game that used fixed cameras very interestingly. They positioned you behind objects in a way that felt almost voyeuristic, like you were a creature stalking the protag through the dark halls of the facility they were exploring.

Absolutely agree! While full 3D games obviously can give a great sense of immersion in a world, I find point n click adventures stay in my mind more clearly, as skilful composition means certain scenes become absolutely definitive and iconic.

PS Ashamed to admit I was not aware of Phoenix Springs til now, but it looks right up my adventure-mystery alley. So I was well pleased to also see it is not only on Mac as well as Windows, but also available on GOG - have just wishlisted and will def be picking it up in the next couple of days. 😎

Ah, and thank you for that too! It's on sale on GOG but just make sure you don't buy it on Steam in the next couple of days 👀

Thanks, Ian. I'm sure someone smarter than me has written about how Passive vs Active cameras impact your subconscious but I couldn't agree more :)

Full-Throttle mention. 👀
