Second Sight

The game offers multiple approaches to completing levels either via stealth, dramatic gunplay, psychic powers or a combination of all three. The ability to psychically influence characters and remotely manipulate objects and individuals provides for a totally fresh gameplay dynamic.

 

Second Sight stars John Vattic, as he awakens from a coma in a US medical institution, where he has been subjected to massive amounts of dangerous surgery and mysterious testing. He doesn't know his name, he can't remember his past, all he knows is that his only hope for survival is to escape and unravel the mystery that has led to his imprisonment.

Haunted by disturbing and upsetting flashbacks, which you can actually move about and play in, he discovers his own physic powers. You set out on a mission to discover the mysteries hidden in your past, and end up finding out about a sinister conspiracy. As Vattic explores his present and past, the game weaves between these two different time periods, which run through the game as a dual-narrative. The player-controlled actions of the past Vattic have consequences in the present

 

The powers you posses enable you to shift objects, terrify guards and much more. As the title progresses you become more and more capable with your powers, and develop more abilities and powers. Basic telekinesis moves on from simply being able to shift objects, into you being able to lift enemies and smash them about until they start to whimper; fun! This revelation of psychic powers makes for a highly compelling journey, and invites experimentation with the newly acquired abilities.

 

As already mentioned, as you move through the game you develop more and more physic powers: healing (for yourself), protection (sending your spirit to posses other characters), charm (alter the minds of other individuals to fool them) and a 'Psi-blast' that sends a destructive wave out around you. If brain-power isn't enough for you, there are thirteen weapons to put into the mix, including everything from a pistol to a sniper rifle!
