Live performances are coming to mixed reality. Between volumetric capture and motion tracking systems dancers and actors can bring more of their craft to emerging digital mediums.
The Under Presents is a bit like immersive theater meets VR gaming. An intriguing multiplayer experience set between two worlds: a jaunty vaudeville stage and the harrowing survival narrative. Uncover the story of a ship stranded in time as supplies dwindle and day-by-day an otherworldly mist rolls closer. Follow characters’ interlocking fates as all journeys forward must turn back or become lost.
Think of it as a full single player timeloop based game with multiplayer components as a layer on top of it. There’s exploration, puzzle and narrative elements. As you discover the Under you may encounter some of our live roving performers
Tender Claws says that through the month of May, players can jump into The Under Presents every Friday for two hours starting at 5PM PDT
Justin Roiland’s VR studio Squanch Games announced last year that their upcoming game Trover Saves the Universe was exclusively targeting PSVR and PS4 consoles. This week at GDC 2019 though it seems the studio has reversed that decision, as the comedy platformer is also slated to arrive on PCs via Steam and Epic Game Store. To make things even more interesting, it appears PSVR users have a firm May release date now.
From the design of the characters to the feel of the universe to the objectives of the missions, Trover Saves the Universe is a mind melting otherworldly adventure that carves it own genre.
