Silhouette features an innovative game mechanic that uses the shadow of your hands to solve puzzles and complete challenges. The game supports Quest’s latest hand tracking technology.
Silhouette is one of the few VR games in the Quest Store that can only be played with hand tracking. Touch controllers are not supported.
During the game, you explore a mysterious island and have to save so-called Shadowlings. They are creatures that only exist as shadows. The game is based on the concept of shadow play: your hands and other objects cast shadows on a wall which help the shadows reach their destination.
As far as I know, this game concept is entirely new, at least as far as Meta Quest 2 hand tracking is concerned. Quest 2 hand tracking has been significantly improved with the 2.1 update, and is supposed track more precisely, especially in subtle interactions like those of Silhouette. The VR game automatically supports 2.1 hand tracking.
An innovative independent studio
Silhouette features 28 puzzles, a beautiful island setting, and a relaxing soundtrack. The trailer gives a good impression of the atmosphere of the game and how the puzzles and skill tasks are constructed.
The VR game is available in the Quest Store this week and costs around $10. It supports both Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro. The game should take around three to four hours.
Silhouette is developed by Team Panoptes, the same studio that created the asymmetric VR multiplayer game Panoptic. Here, players take on two different roles: one person wearing a VR headset becomes a giant overseer, while the other plays on a PC and has to sneak past the overseer as a small dark figure. Panoptic can be played locally on a computer or over the Internet.
