'Moss' (PS4) Coming In February 2018 - Screens

by Rainier on Oct. 31, 2017 @ 12:56 a.m. PDT

Moss is an action-adventure puzzle game, built for virtual reality from the ground up, that re-imagines classic gameplay in a first-of-its-kind fully immersive environment.

Through fantasy storybook readings and fluid gameplay, Moss brings players into the tale of our unlikely hero Quill—a young mouse from a remote forest settlement who is fated to be the key in a much larger story. As her ally on this journey, players guide Quill while also directly manipulating the field of play as their own character. Mutual communication and shared victories strengthen their connection to one another.

Moss takes classic components of a great game—such as compelling characters, gripping combat, and captivating world exploration—and combines them with the exciting opportunities of virtual reality. Throughout gameplay, players build an extraordinary alliance with Quill, Moss’s brave new hero. Players not only guide Quill on her journey, but also reach into the world as their own character—their every action has impact.


Polyarc is rewarding fans who pre-order with instant access to an exclusive dynamic PlayStation Theme and PlayStation Avatar featuring Moss’s hero Quill and her idyllic forest home. European fans pre-ordering Moss will receive their pre-order bonuses at launch this February. Preview the dynamic theme and avatar on Polyarc’s social channels. 

Key Features:

  • Physical Interaction: Players reach into a dynamic, interactive world where their every action has impact. They move objects, assist in battle and puzzle-solving, heal the hero, and alter the actual landscape of play through their own direct influence.
  • World Immersion: Moss brings players into the world. Their senses transport them to lively, humming environments filled with intriguing creatures, ancient artifacts, and vast, panoramic views.  
  • The Moss Story: Quill is the brave new hero of Moss. She’s a young mouse with dreams of greatness beyond the confines of her quiet settlement. When an ancient magic is awakened, she becomes linked to the player who is their own character in the story. When a distant evil extends its reach, they’re called together on an epic journey. Fantasy storybook readings throughout gameplay further develop a compelling storyline and draw players into a rich tale of myth and magic.
  • Character Interaction: The alliance between Quill and the player is an extraordinary one. Their bond deepens and thrives through mutual communication and shared experiences. In gameplay, their abilities are complementary and both characters will be needed to achieve victory.  
  • Control Mechanics: Players guide the hero via approachable and familiar action-adventure controls. At the same time, they can directly reach in and manipulate the field of play as their own character and key ally to Quill.
  • Quality & Polish: Moss features intuitive gameplay, creative design, and a high degree of art, sound, and animation polish. The overall quality is a key reason players feel they’ve been transported into the world.

Moss will be available for PSVR in February 2018.
