Wonderbook: Diggs Nightcrawler

WONDERBOOK: DIGGS NIGHTCRAWLER is the story of a gumshoe inchworm living in a land filled with classic fairy tale creatures. He's trying to get to the bottom of the murder of his friend, Humpty Dumpty, whose shell was shattered after a fall from his office window. It makes use of Sony's cardboard Wonderbook peripheral as well as the PlayStation Eye camera and PlayStation Move motion controller to deliver an augmented-reality experience in which the player can see him- or herself on TV interacting with a book out of which animated worlds and characters seem to emanate. Turning a page, for example, flips open a new 3-D CGI (computer-generated-interface) environment, almost like a pop-up book. The game is played by listening to audio directions that explain how to manipulate the book, perhaps tilting it left and right to steer a raft or partially lifting a page to redirect a lamp's light onto an important object. The action plays out over only a few short chapters, but players are encouraged to revisit completed stages and undertake photo assignments that involve taking pictures of in-game objects with the Move controller.
