Arcade Escape — image 1

Arcade Escape

Arcade Escape is a cooperative puzzle and arcade experience inspired by real-world escape rooms and classic game centres. Two players explore a mysterious arcade from different dimensions and work together to beat the machines. One player navigates the 3D arcade space, walking and interacting with the arcade cabinets, while the other creates a whole new dynamic within the arcade games themselves. Together, they must communicate, solve problems, and master a set of 3 classic-style arcade games.

eXtended Realities

Hypnagogia — image 1

Hypnagogia

You fall asleep and wake up in a familiar place. Home is just across the river. You just need to get there. But the world keeps changing and the presence in the shadows keeps getting closer. Hypnagogia is a single player VR horror game about sleep paralysis experienced from the inside. The deeper you go, the line between dream and reality begins to blur. Through exploration, puzzles and combat, the player must find a way to wake up.
