Release date of A Most Curious Murder for Oculus Gear VR, a murder mystery game from Impact Unified, Malmö Sweden and UNLTD, Montreal Canada, set to Friday the 9th of February 2018.
MONTREAL and MALMÖ, Sweden, Feb. 1, 2018 /CNW/ - Impact Unified, a Swedish social impact game and documentary production studio, partnered with UNLTD, a virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) production studio with pioneering VR/3D camera and shooting technology for the production of A Most Curious Murder mobile VR game. Being extremely impressed by the gameplay, the performance, the design and the stability of the game, Oculus has recently acquired the game for the Gear VR Store and has already set a release date for Friday the 9th of February 2018.
"Our game features a unique locomotion system, in our extensive user trials we found this is what greatly reduces VR motion sickness and improves immersion" - Simon Hultgren, CEO Impact Unified.
A Most Curious Murder is a fully interactive mobile VR detective game where you must gain access to a police station to solve a murder case by finding evidence and watching surveillance video. By searching for evidence in the police station and taking screenshots of interesting events and suspicious activities in the videos, you can put together the pieces of the puzzle as evidence and then gradually unfold the activities leading up to the murder. The game has an innovative locomotion system and is best played standing as you move around in the police station by walking on the spot.
"We're very excited to be releasing "A Most Curious Murder" with Oculus. It was a fantastic collaboration with Simon and the team at Impact Unified and we look forward to releasing more episodes in the very near future! " -John Hamilton, CEO UNLTD
How far would you go to acquit yourself of murder? As you walk through the dark corridors of the police station, you start thinking this might not have been such a good idea after all, but there is no turning back now. You need to figure out a way to access the computers, the computers that your friend is convinced houses the surveillance videos from the night of the murder. But is that enough? Your intuition tells you that there must be items from the murder scene somewhere in the police station that the police has somehow overlooked. Can you help the police solve the murder? And more importantly, who are you willing to sacrifice to walk free?
Press feedback from an early evaluation at XR Connects in London is already extremely positive and enthusiastic. As The Virtual Report qualified the game as "Immediately atmospheric", and that the "Innovative locomotion system drew universal praise", Pocket Gamer thought "It's a wonderfully elegant idea, and in practice it works really well. Give A Most Curious Murder a try. It'll remind you why you were so excited about VR in the first place."
