Transference combines a fantastic story with great acting and smart puzzles for an experience that manages to really stand out from the crowd.
"Transference" is a single-player horror adventure game that offers a fabulous story and phenomenal gameplay in a mind-bending psychological thriller. It combines the tension of a suspense film with the interactivity of a game, allowing players to explore a corrupted digital simulation of a troubled scientist's family. While it has masterful visuals and a splendid atmosphere, the game is unfortunately full of bugs and requires a lot of grinding.

Critic Reviews
Transference Review – Not Quite Transcendent
Transference is an ambitious experience that feels a little bit late to the party. It has an interesting premise and an atmospheric, well realised world brought to life with gusto, especially if playing in virtual reality. But despite all of this, it never truly transcends the slew of similar games that came before it and is over much too quickly.

Transference is a short but unnerving experience that horror fans will appreciate.
75%Tension and terror in a virtual mind -- Transference VR review
Transference is an interesting experiment in the blending of horror and virtual reality. Noah and Waller deliver a stressful experience that pushes the player into an uncomfortable space. While the puzzles aren’t going to bend your brain, the tension is more than worth the trip...and it is very much a trip.
