Unseen Diplomacy casts you as an elite member of The British Espionage Tactical Initiative, defeating the plans of evil-doers around the world. With a real-life obstacle course using every inch of your room-scale space, created by Steam VR, you will run and roll & sneak your way through lairs.
Players take on the role of an elite member of the British Espionage Tactical Initiative, tasked with defeating the plans of evil-doers around the world. The game casts players into a series of environments, such as volcano lairs and moon bases, where they must run, roll, sneak, and solve their way through obstacles.
The game's core innovation lies in its use of non-Euclidean level design. Clever spatial tricks create the illusion of a much larger environment than the 4m x 3m physical play area. Players can walk, crawl, and maneuver through winding corridors, narrow vents, and over ledges, all while staying within the confines of the designated space. This redirected walking technique subtly guides the player's movements, looping them back into the same physical area while making it feel like they are exploring a vast facility.
The gameplay emphasizes physical interaction, requiring players to crawl through vents, balance on ledges, and manipulate objects using their own body movements. Reviewers praise this approach for heightening the sense of immersion, as players feel they are truly inhabiting the role of a spy. The need to crawl on the floor further contributes to this "real" and engaging experience.
Each playthrough features a randomly generated layout of rooms and obstacles, adding to the game's replayability. Reviewers note that this randomization keeps the experience fresh and encourages players to explore the environment in different ways, further enhancing the sense of discovery and challenge.
The game includes an "assisted movement" mode, which allows players with limited mobility to participate without the need for extensive crawling or physical exertion. This helps make the experience more accessible to a broader range of players.
