The debut title from Highwire Games, Golem, is coming exclusively to PlayStation VR as announced at PlayStation Experience but did you notice that their trailer was all in-engine?

Jaime Griesemer, Creative Director over at Highwire Games, wrote up an interesting blog post on the official PlayStation blog about how it feels to announce a game on stage, as well as revealing a few small tidbits about the game.

"There is always a certain tension when you try to introduce a game with a movie-style trailer. How do you capture the dynamic nature of a game in a non-interactive video? Do you try to communicate the gameplay, or just focus on telling an interesting story?" he wrote, "So, when we were deciding how to introduce Golem to the fans at PlayStation Experience, we knew we couldn’t directly convey the experience of being a giant stone golem exploring an abandoned city."

According to Griesemer, you won't just be playing as a single Golem but as somebody with "the ability to control golems, seeing through their eyes and directing their movements." They won't all be as large as the one seen in the trailer, you might come across some small enough to fit under your bed.

Golem is currently in development and has not received a release window as of yet.
