Our take on ArcSine
The store emphasis on a sweeping journey may suggest a narrative adventure, but the game is explicitly storyless and linear. Its main offering is repeated precision play across many stages, with physical exertion and a high difficulty level shaping the experience more than story or exploration.
What is ArcSine?
ArcSine is a first-person virtual reality puzzle platformer built around standing, physically active play.
Players move through more than 340 stages in a linear, storyless journey, using environmental and movement mechanics that can either assist or obstruct progress. The game focuses on precision, dexterity, and a demanding pace rather than combat or exploration. It includes instant respawns and stage loading, leaderboards, and real-time speedrunning statistics. Smooth and snap turning are not available. A wide-angle streaming mode with motion smoothing and an electronic soundtrack accompany the gameplay. ArcSine is single-player and presents its challenges through varied dynamic environments.
