RiseAngle’s VR Fantasy Adventure Game

Introduction

The virtual reality space is an intriguing one when it comes to gaming. On one hand, we know the potential the technology holds yet on the other, there are tons of limitations that seem to put people off. This has led plenty of developers to resort to smaller bite-sized experiences instead of attempting full-blown games to make the technology move forward.

World of Mazes is a game that aims to challenge this perception by building a fully immersive VR gaming experience within a mysterious puzzle-filled world that beckons you to explore it.

What is the World of Mazes?

At first blush, World of Mazes would sound like a typical story-based game with puzzles and exploration. What changes it all is the delivery through immersive technology. RiseAngle, the development team behind World of Mazes, released the first two chapters as a trial run on Oculus Go and were met with high praise. The element ties it all together is how the world feels more alive when you’re seemingly walking through it at such a level of immersion.

What Makes the Game’s World so Appealing?

What makes the universe of the World of Mazes even more intriguing is the concept of it consisting of planets, each of which is its own maze. For most, mazes sound like a claustrophobic experience where you have to somehow make it from the entrance to the exit all the while praying you don’t get stuck. Mazes in World of Mazes, however, are living, breathing environments in themselves. Along the way, you encounter interesting characters and challenging puzzles that help you unravel the secrets behind the connection between the planets.

What is the Main Draw of the Game?

Developer, RiseAngle, didn’t aim to make a game that was like others with World of Mazes. There is no intricate shooting or crazy high-skill mechanics here. No precariously high-pressure situations to speak of. World of Mazes is all about discovery and piecing a story together. In some ways, it takes the same concept of world-building the Dark Souls series is known for, removes the frustrating combat bits and places it all in front of the immersive VR lens. You’ll get to know quirky and fun characters as you peacefully journey across the mazes in search of a lost princess.

Who Should Play World of Mazes?

If you’ve been looking for a more relaxed yet captivating virtual reality experience, then World of Mazes should be on your radar. Developer, RiseAngle, has gone through painstaking efforts to make the storytelling of World of Mazes as immersive and engrossing as possible. There’s a lot to learn and do all the while experiencing a mystical world as though you were right there.

There aren’t many games that show off the narrative capabilities of VR technology so if you wanted to just simply have a dive into an immersive story, this is the game for you.
