Hi Elijah Wood, I'm reviewing your game. I want to begin by saying I had absolutely no idea what this game was before playing it, and went in completely blind. I didn't even know of its existence until it came on GamePass. With that being said, I feel like this game is a bit over hated. There's a lot of eh in this game, but there is also a lot of good ideas here.What is the game? Transference is a "walking simulator," (Using that term very lightly, but also kinda not), puzzle, phycological horror game. It follows you the player going through the experience of a family breaking apart through the 3 family members perspectives.This is done by flicking light switches and getting transported to the same exact space, but it looks different based on how the family member sees the home. The dad sees it as a workplace, the child sees it as a broken and ruined dream like home, and the wife sees it as a **** actual effects and presentation of this game is its strongest element. Transference has a lot of things to critique, but its presentation isn't. It's a very pretty game, with a lot of glitch, sci-fi, and illusion imagery being used.I thought it was extremely cool how the entire room around you feels like it turns off, and back on again, I found the different cinematic sequences to be good, and the choice to have both animated and real world footage integrated is a cool artistic **** puzzles on the other hand are where most find issue. The majority of the puzzles are not inherently bad, and many are good, but the puzzles feel either too easy, or just kinda stupid. A good puzzle was the radio, magnet password, and opening one, but there are a lot of ones that are stupid easy like the piano, and clock **** finally the story. The story of Transference get's hated on for not being original enough. I can kind of agree- But most hate on the premise itself which I feel is not fair. The premise is, the mom and dad meet each other, the dad is a crazy smart scientist and engineer, and the wife is a very talented musician. They settle down (Or get an unexpected pregnancy with imagery pointing in that direction), and the husband is a piece of garbage to his wife and now son. He poured all of his time into his work and neglected the two of them. This left his wife feeling trapped because of her son, and his son feeling unloved and confused. Things get worse and eventually they get a divorce, with this entire experience being forever remembered on a flash drive that you can play through with a vr ****'s fine- the premise itself is okay and I don't have an issue with, but I do agree with many that say it's missing something. It's a game that feels like it keeps alluding to something more, but in the end has nothing more than that simple story. I feel they could have done one of two things to make the story better.A. Just make the game longer- Give the player more of a reason to care about this family. The game is about an hour and a half and most of that time is spent walking too slowly, and trying to figure out a puzzle. I personally would have liked a lot more of that run time to be spent better building up the narrative.B: Add lore to it. Idk what it would look like, but to be honest I think this is the type of game you could add actual secrets in to learn more about what's truly going on, but idk I think option A is **** a complete package it's fine. It's not bad, it just should have been much better.

Transference es un juego que tenéis disponible en Ubisoft+ y tengo que decir que es una experiencia en primera persona con toques de thriller (a veces incluso miedo) sobre viajes en el tiempo y reconstrucción de hechos. Estáis ante una historia que se puede superar en 2-3 horas con gran cantidad de rompecabezas. Destaca por su estética y sus rincones temáticos, aunque a veces la historia puede resultar ser imprecisa o difícil de comprender.

I enjoyed the game and I think it's underrated. The graphics are nice, the atmosphere is great and the game is really scary.
