By Hold on, what?!

It appears charming and vibrant, yet Hide the Corpse might just be the most grim offering on PSVR2 thus far.
The game is precisely what it implies: you possess a deceased body and must conceal it before the authorities show up. The more effectively you conceal it, the greater your score will be. Strange.
Here’s how the official description frames it:
“Hide The Corpse, the frenzied and eccentric VR body-hiding sandbox is set to debut on PlayStation. As a participant, your mission is to hide a body in one of six stages within a four-minute timeframe. Avoid detection!”
This clearly leverages PSVR2’s strengths, as it demands ample interaction with physics. For instance, you can lift objects to cover the corpse – or drag the body into a freezer or refrigerator.
It’s just so utterly dark as a premise, isn’t it?
The trailer indicates that the game is scheduled for release on 18th August, but the description states 20th July, so we’ll verify which release date is correct.
Regardless, do you possess the enthusiasm to engage in something like this? Even though it’s evidently all slapstick and humorous, we’re somewhat astonished this has been created.
