MARSEILLE, FRANCE – October 29, 2024 – Studio Chipo y Juan, an independent studio in the EU, today announced it will be releasing its narrative puzzle game, “Detective VR” on Meta Quest 3/3S in early 2025. The game is story-driven, with graphic-rich mixed-reality. It takes place in the player’s living room. What sets the game apart is that players can control time as well as interview witnesses in pass through. “Our new game is a mix between ObraDinn/Immortality and Minority Report,” said Alexandre Garland, Game Designer of Detective VR and CEO of Studio Chipo y Juan. “Detective VR is an innovative way to tell a story in the form of mixed reality.”
Detective VR features mixed-reality storytelling allowing the player to be a detective in their own living room, as they collect clues with “hand tracking,” which means a person us their biological hand to interact with the game.
Garland explained, “The challenge of characters in mixed reality puts the suspect in your real space, telling their ‘unreliable truth,’ but is it? You will interact with cast members within a unique virtual production using mixed reality in the making of the game, for motion capture. The time control piece provides an experience that recalls the idea of the film, “Minority Report.” The game is based on five pillars:
• Transition from MR to VR
• Mixed reality investigation
• Hand tracking interactions
• Characters in mixed reality
• Time control
The game’s mixed reality and motion capture utilized Quest3 during the studio’s shoot, to visualize the set. Actors could see the set and their characters could move within the augmented reality. The six well-known actors have been in Call of Duty, Detroit Becomes Humans, The Crown, Succession, and Doctor Who.
Gameplay length is four-five hours. The story has thirteen timelines and there are thirteen ways to see the story.
