While I’m still super undecided on whether or not augmented reality games that use iOS 11’s AR Kit are going to be much more than a gimmick, I’ve got to admit some of these teaser videos that are coming out ahead of the release of iOS 11 are pretty dang cool. The latest example is Mysterious AR, a game that seems to combine elements of The Room with augmented reality, check it out:
I’m curious to see how much having a puzzle box rendered in augmented reality adds to the gameplay. It’s undisputedly neat, but will that “Huh, that’s neat" translate to a gameplay experience you’re going to want to stick with? Maybe! We’ll just have to wait to see how this all shakes out when iOS 11 hits ahead of the iPhone 8 next month.
