Project 59
Project 59 is a narrative driven VR game. The player becomes part of a story, as a new recruit in a secret government agency that is involved in genetic and weapons research. The story develops over the the levels and the player realizes that things are not as they seem. Gameplay involves elements of action and adventure. Beyond the thrills of the first person shooting, the game offers an intriguing plot where the player has to make decisions and take actions that change the outcome of the game. The gameplay is enhanced by out of game elements such as a "friend" who is helping from outside (through a twitter feed) and these external elements can have effects on the gameplay.
​
The current version is a preview build with 30+ minutes of gameplay. The full release planned for Fall 2018 will have the full storyline with 6+ hours of gameplay.
​
The game supports HTC Vive currently and support for Oculus Rift and PSVR is planned.
History
Project 59 started out with the idea that the immersive nature of VR can be so engaging that it's possible to connect with the real world to a point where it's hard to decide what's real and what's not.
​
We started experimenting in the winter of 2017. The results of those experiments led us to the game. We released the preview version with just two levels (30+ min of gameplay) on Steam and Viveport on July 2018. The feedback from the wider audience will be integrated into the full game scheduled for Fall 2018.
