The 'Erica' PS4 game is one of the many new games that was recently announced by Sony at Paris Games Week, and it is one that offers a unique experience that falls somewhere between film and games.
In the live-action game, players are tasked with guiding Erica through a series of decisions. The title for PlayStation 4 by Favourworks offers many points of interaction where words literally hang in the air for players to choose from. Naturally, one's choices have repercussions; for instance, opening a door quickly could cause a noise that will disturb others in the scene.
One of the most standout parts of the new game is that it will make the most of Sony's new PlayLink feature—this technology allows players to control select PS4 games with a smartphone.
