The indie game studio Chipo y Juan has some exciting news for VR enthusiasts. They’ve revealed that their mixed reality game, Detective VR, which draws inspiration from the movie Minority Report, will be hitting the Quest platform next week.
Set for release on February 27th for the Quest 3 and 3S, Detective VR immerses players in a narrative-driven MR experience. You’ll have the chance to manipulate time, gather clues, and interview witnesses right in your living room, thanks to the game’s innovative Passthrough mode.
The developers describe Detective VR’s gameplay as a compelling blend of elements from games like Return of the Obra Dinn, Immortality, and the iconic film Minority Report. Be prepared for investigations that are anything but straightforward. With unreliable witnesses, you’ll need to grill suspects, navigating seamlessly between mixed and virtual reality.
Exclusively available on the Quest platform, Detective VR offers around five hours of captivating story-driven content. You’ll have the tools to rewind, pause, and replay scenes in order to uncover elusive clues hidden within the timeline. The game features six motion-captured characters with voice acting.
The character roster might even sound familiar, as the actors involved have appeared in acclaimed TV series such as The Crown, Succession, and Doctor Who. Names like Luke Mably, Angus Wright, Melissa Bright, Hannah Wright, David Clark, and Bryony Byrne add a touch of theatrical flair to the game’s experience.
Chipo y Juan, based in Marseille, France, have a solid track record in the VR scene. They’ve crafted previous projects like the narrative-driven VORTEX VR for Quest in 2023 and have also developed experiences for various art exhibitions.
