Recently, indie studio Chipo y Juan unveiled an exciting new addition to the gaming world with their upcoming mixed reality game, Detective VR. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Minority Report, this intriguing game is poised to launch on the Quest platform next week, promising an immersive experience like no other.
Scheduled for release on Quest 3 and 3S on February 27th, Detective VR transports you into a world of mystery right in your living room. Using Passthrough mode, players will have the ability to manipulate time, uncover clues, and interrogate witnesses, creating a dynamic blend of reality and game. The narrative-driven MR game aims to engage players with its intricate storyline and immersive mechanics.
Chipo y Juan describes Detective VR as a fascinating amalgamation of gameplay elements from Return of the Obra Dinn, Immortality, and, of course, the cinematic genius of Minority Report. The path to solving a case won’t always be straightforward; players must expertly navigate unreliable testimonies and confront suspects while seamlessly transitioning through mixed and virtual reality environments.
Exclusively available on the Quest platform, Detective VR promises to deliver around five hours of captivating gameplay. Players have the power to manipulate scenes, rewinding, pausing, and playing them to reveal hidden clues buried within the timeline. The game’s intriguing narrative is brought to life through interactions with six motion-captured and voiced characters.
The game’s cast is notable for their impressive work in acclaimed TV series, including The Crown, Succession, and Doctor Who. Look forward to performances by talented actors such as Luke Mably, Angus Wright, Melissa Bright, Hannah Wright, David Clark, and Bryony Byrne.
Based in Marseille, France, this innovative studio has a history of creating compelling VR projects. Their previous works include the narrative adventure VORTEX VR for Quest and several virtual experiences crafted for art exhibitions.
