Introducing Detective VR: an immersive storytelling experience coming soon to Oculus Quest, where players will engage in virtual reality investigations, blending the boundaries between game and real-life mystery-solving.
With the innovative technology of Valem Studio’s Detective VR, immerse yourself in an interactive experience where you can manipulate time, collect crucial evidence, and conduct thorough witness interviews by seamlessly integrating your surroundings into the game space. Navigating a web of contradictory accounts to uncover the truth, you delve into a complex narrative comprised of three interconnected tales, featuring eight enigmatic characters, promising “4-6 hours of immersive gameplay” for a thrilling experience.
After last year’s demonstration at Meta Join, Valem Studio founder Quentin Valembois recently unveiled a fresh teaser, viewable below.
A surge in popularity of XR-enhanced detective video games has been observed recently. While LA Noire: The VR Case Files made a splash upon its 2017 release, this year’s House Detective takes your living room and transforms it into a crime scene through innovative virtual reality. The game’s adoption by Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Hung Parliament took a bold approach by incorporating live-action full-motion video (FMV) sequences featuring talented theatre actors.
Detective VR aims for a spring 2025 release date, with a playable demo available on Oculus Quest.
