Creator of ‘The Invisible Hours’ Seeks to Bring Immersive Mysteries to VR, TV, and Film

Okay, here’s a reimagined take on that article:

So, here’s the scoop — Rob Yescombe, yeah, the guy behind “The Invisible Hours” (2017) — just snagged the rights back to his brainchild. Wild, right? Now he’s hinting at maybe dropping a remaster for the new VR gizmos, and, there’s chatter of TV or film adaptations too. I can almost smell the popcorn.

Hollywood Reporter said he’s scouting for folks to partner up for some cinematic magic. Seriously, if you haven’t checked out “The Invisible Hours,” it’s like Agatha Christie had a wild night with Clue and they birthed a VR enigma. Some big ol’ mansion on an island, and you’re hovering around like a ghost, trying to figure out a murder. And it’s Tesla who bites the dust. You’re not in the game as a character, just this silent snoop who can mess with time. Doesn’t that just tickle your brain?

The thing launched back in ’17 for PC VR headsets and the original PSVR. Critics? They were kinda swooning over it. Tequila Works had plans to bring it to Quest, but things went kaput in 2024 before it happened. Bummer, right?

Anyway — where was I? Oh, Yescombe, right. He’s jazzed about revamping the whole thing. “Loved making it. Like, the best ever!” he shared. Fans still whisper sweet nothings about it in his inbox. And hey, VR’s exploded since 2017, so he’s thinking this is ripe for a comeback.

After the game, our man Rob’s been busy. Wrote for “The Twilight Zone VR” (2022), and “Arizona Sunshine 2” (2023), plus “The Precinct” (2025). And get this, he penned a Netflix flick, “Outside the Wire” (2021), and had a hand in a bunch of other cool stuff like Alien and Blade Runner. Can you even imagine that lineup?

So yeah, Rob’s all about bringing his VR mystery back to life. Fingers crossed we see it soon — here’s hoping it’ll be as mind-bending and juicy as the first time.
