In the meantime at least we’ve got Torn to look forward to. Unfortunately the onsite developer at GDC informed me the game is likely one or even two years away from release, so we’ll have to wait a while before we get to see the final product. Since Firmament is a VR-only game the way you explore and interact with the world is going to be different from the likes of Myst and Obduction, so I’m eager to see more. I’d imagine the final game will include some of the classic head scratchers that Cyan’s games are always so well-known for. Nothing really stumped me at all and it was all very intuitive and simple to understand.

The next few minutes of the demo involve raising and lowering bridges to cross vast chasms. Immediately the orb becomes part of the game’s puzzle solving. Images can spoil the game as you get to see all the surprises too early. This walkthrough doesn't have lots of images. Lifting my hand up above my head calls the orb to me and I can even point at things for it to interact with in the distance. Like all walkthroughs, use it to help but take the time to explore yourself, you will discover much more on your journey than what is detailed here.

Once I remove the orb it buzzes up into the air and follows me around. I’ve only got teleportation for movement in the demo so I make my way down the hall and up a staircase to a small orb ingrained in a waist-high pedestal. You can see glimpses of the area in the screenshots and teaser trailer here. Things begin with a machine drilling me out of the ice and letting me explore a creepy old cave that looks like it could almost be part ornate mansion. At the very start of the GDC demo my character is frozen alive in a block of ice.
