Description

VR Giants is an asymmetrical local co-op vr puzzle plattformer developed by Risa Interactive.

The game allows a VR player and a screen player to play together on one PC in the same virtual world. The VR player becomes a giant and the screen player controls a tiny person. Only by working together they can solve the puzzles and regain their freedom.

VR Giants is launching on Steam Early Access on 14th of June 2023.

Gameplay

The giant (Goliath) can help the tiny player (David) to cross abysses or reach higher platforms by offering his body as a bridge. David is highly vulnerable to fire, spikes and other dangers so Goliath must protect David. Only David can collect coins to open gates but requires the assistance of the giant Goliath to do so. The giant Goliath is bound by a chain and thereby his movement is limited to a specific play area. David can summon Goliath to new play areas. Step by step they are progressing through the levels and rescue their lost sheep.
VR Giants sparks joy and teaches kindness and team communication in a fun and intuitive way by making use of the unique technological feature of two completely different input devices.

History

The first version of VR Giants was created as part of a master thesis dealing with the subject of body presence in virtual reality. The project was started in 2017 as scientific and included research and is in development to become a game since 2019. Already the first experimental version of VR Giants (back then called Goliath VR) was well received, won awards and was featured on news channels.
