In a recent announcement, indie game developers Chipo y Juan have stirred excitement with the upcoming launch of their mixed reality title, Detective VR. Drawing inspiration from the film Minority Report, this innovative game is set to hit the Quest platform next week.
Debuting on the Quest 3 and 3S on February 27th, Detective VR invites players into an immersive narrative where they can manipulate time, gather vital clues, and interrogate witnesses—all within the comfort of their own home through Passthrough mode. The game cleverly merges elements from popular titles like Return of the Obra Dinn and Immortality, promising a rich and nuanced investigative experience. Players should brace themselves for complex scenarios where untrustworthy testimony demands skillful questioning and strategic shifts between mixed and virtual reality environments.
Exclusively available for Quest users, this game offers around five hours of intensely engaging, story-centered gameplay. You’ll have the power to rewind, freeze, and replay sequences to uncover hidden clues spread across the timeline, all while interacting with six meticulously motion-captured and voice-acted characters.
The cast, featuring familiar faces from acclaimed TV series such as The Crown, Succession, and Doctor Who, includes talented actors like Luke Mably, Angus Wright, Melissa Bright, Hannah Wright, David Clark, and Bryony Byrne, lending their authentic and captivating performances.
Based in Marseille, France, Chipo y Juan has a strong track record of creating compelling VR experiences. Their portfolio includes VORTEX VR, released in 2023, along with diverse projects for art exhibitions, firmly establishing them as pioneers in the realm of immersive storytelling.
Eager gamers can pre-order Detective VR now on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and 3S. It’s currently offered at a discounted price of $24, down from its regular $30, making it a great opportunity to dive into this thrilling adventure at a bargain.
