Creator of ‘The Invisible Hours’ Seeks to Introduce Immersive Mysteries to Modern VR, TV, and Film

Oh, man, where do I even start with this whole saga about “The Invisible Hours”? It’s like peeling an onion — once you think you’ve got it all figured out, boom, there’s another layer. So, Rob Yescombe, right? Dude’s this creative whirlwind who, by some twist of fate, now owns the rights to this wild VR mystery thing. The game was just one of those, uh, mind-bending experiences, you know? One minute you’re like Sherlock Holmes reincarnated, and the next you’re questioning your sanity on a digital island with a bunch of odd ducks.

Anyway — oh, wait, hold up, let me backtrack. So, apparently, Yescombe’s itching to take this beauty to a broader audience. Think of it as Agatha Christie meeting Clue but with a sprinkle of virtual reality magic. Yeah, it’s that nuts. You’re more of an omniscient fly on the wall than a player, if that makes any sense? It’s classic “who-done-it” with this Nikola Tesla twist. Like, Tesla? Seriously, who would’ve thought?

Here’s the kicker, though. Back in 2017, it hit PC VR and PSVR to, like, rave reviews. But then, plot twist, the studio kinda tanked before it made its way to the Quest. Bummer, right? Fast forward to now, and Yescombe is thinking remaster. New VR headsets are all the rage — millions sold! — which might just breathe fresh life into this quirky piece of art.

Okay, sidetracked again, but side note: Yescombe’s got one heck of a resume since his “Invisible Hours” days. He’s got his name on stuff like “The Twilight Zone VR” and that “Arizona Sunshine 2” game. Didn’t stop at games, either. He even dabbled in screenwriting for Netflix flicks — “Outside the Wire” ring a bell? I think I might’ve dozed off halfway through that one. Oh, and there’s more, some Paul Feig comedy action, work on big-name franchises like “Alien” and “Family Guy”, yada yada. Jack of all trades, huh?

So, what’s next? Well, your guess is as good as mine. The idea of the game hitting the big screen or becoming a binge-worthy series might just be that missing puzzle piece. Guess we’ll have to wait and see if Yescombe pulls it off, though. Fingers crossed.
