An exciting announcement comes from the indie powerhouse Chipo y Juan as they prepare to launch their latest game, Detective VR, inspired by Minority Report. Set to hit the Quest platform next week, this mixed reality title is sure to catch the eye of mystery enthusiasts.
Detective VR will make its debut on February 27th, designed specifically for the Quest 3 and 3S. It’s a gripping narrative journey into mixed reality where players have the power to manipulate time, gather evidence, and interview witnesses—all within the comfort of their living rooms. Through the innovative Passthrough mode, it seamlessly blends the real and virtual worlds into an immersive detective experience.
The developers promise a thrilling combination of elements from Return of the Obra Dinn, Immortality, and the cinematic world of Minority Report. In Detective VR, players are warned not to expect a straightforward investigative journey. Testimonies often lead you astray, requiring sharp detective skills to challenge suspects through both mixed and virtual environments.
Featured exclusively on the Quest platform, this game delivers a robust five-hour storyline. Players can manipulate time by rewinding, pausing, and playing scenes, seeking out hidden clues along a dynamic timeline. You’ll get to engage with six uniquely motion-captured characters, each brought to life with voice performances. And if you’re a TV fan, you might just recognize some of the talent—star actors from acclaimed series like The Crown, Succession, and Doctor Who, including the likes of Luke Mably and Angus Wright, lend their skills to this project.
Chipo y Juan, based in Marseille, France, is no stranger to the VR realm. They’re known for creating narrative experiences like VORTEX VR for Quest, along with a range of projects for various art exhibitions.
Detective VR is now available for pre-order on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and 3S. For those keen to don their detective hat, there’s a special pre-order price of $24, a discount from the full $30 price tag. Don’t miss out on the chance to unravel the mysteries woven into this intriguing new release.
