Control-wise, the game uses the DualShock 4 gamepad rather than the Move wands allowing for a much deeper and precise control. This makes combat easier with Quill picking up a sword and slashes her way through her enemies.
In addition to standard combat, "Moss" also features a number of environmental puzzles. Players will need to lift up, rotate, and manipulate a maze-like rotunda structure in order for Quill to progress.
As for the game's art style, the game definitely hits the sweet spot of not being too cartoony while at the same time not overly realistic. While most people find mice cute, Quill's appearance just wants to make players go "aaaaaww."
In celebration to the game's release date announcement, Polyarc also released a new launch trailer which provides a glimpse of Quill's story as well as more gameplay and the fantastic places players will explore with her. According to Armstrong, he hopes that the game will be enjoyed by everyone from early VR adopters to casual gamers and just about anyone looking for an exciting new experience.
