‘Creator of ‘The Invisible Hours’ Seeks to Deliver Immersive Mystery to VR, TV, and Film’

Sure thing, here’s the reimagined article:

So, let me tell you about Rob Yescombe. This guy co-cooked (is that a term?) this VR whodunnit called The Invisible Hours. It hit the scene back in 2017. Anyway, fast forward a bit, and now he’s got the rights back. He’s hinting at giving it a facelift for modern VR headsets, and there’s talk of a TV or movie spin. Oh, and yeah, Hollywood Reporter spilled the beans first.

It’s got this Agatha Christie meets Clue vibe, right? Picture it: a huge mansion, middle-of-nowhere island, and a murder to unravel. You’re like this invisible observer, rewinding time and creeping after the suspects. No, for real — Tesla’s the victim. How wild is that?

When it debuted on PC VR and PSVR (RIP the OG), folks dug it. Studio Tequila Works once chatted about a Quest version, but they, uh, didn’t quite get there before the curtains dropped in 2024.

Now Rob’s like, “We gotta bring it back for the new VR crowd.” He literally said (well, the Hollywood Reporter says he did), and I’m paraphrasing, it was his “best creative ride ever.” And fans? They keep bugging him about it. Love finds a way, huh?

Since then, Rob’s penned for some cool stuff: Twilight Zone VR, Arizona Sunshine 2, and The Precinct — guess he’s been busy. Oh, and Netflix flicks too, like Outside the Wire and Jackpot! He’s even dabbled in some big-name franchises: Alien, Blade Runner, Family Guy. Crazy, right?

So, yeah, keep your eyes peeled. Who knows where The Invisible Hours might crop up next?
