Assuma o papel de um explorador urbano investigando o desaparecimento de um menino em uma vila abandonada no coração de uma floresta alemã sombria. Esta aventura de terror em VR combina realismo cinematográfico com jogabilidade interativa, permitindo que você use uma lanterna para desvendar pistas e adentre um submundo mítico inspirado no folclore europeu. Scans de fotogrametria do verdadeiro local em Brandenburg garantem visuais hiper-realistas, enquanto o movimento livre e interações intuitivas intensificam a tensão em escala de sala no Oculus Rift e HTC Vive.
Um curta-metragem complementar no site da KOBOLD apresenta a história do menino e sua família antes de você colocar o headset e invadir a vila. Colete evidências, resolva o mistério e encare as consequências de suas escolhas nesta experiência trans-mídia. Fãs de VR em busca de exploração realista e terror folclórico vão se envolver completamente.
KOBOLD is a new kind of horror experience that blurs the line between cinema and VR gaming. Step into the shoes of an urban explorer investigating the mysterious case of a missing boy. Pick up your flashlight and discover the secrets of an abandoned villa in the middle of a dark forest in Germany. Immerse yourself in true, cinematic realism, explore an interactive universe, pick up clues and dare to venture deeper into a mystical world where your actions can have grave consequences. With its intensely realistic visuals captured with photogrammetry, free movement and intuitive interactions, KOBOLD is a unique room scale VR experience that will entice and terrify...
A trans-media experience, KOBOLD is accompanied by a short film that can be viewed before entering the VR experience. The short film serves as an introduction into the world and characters and tells the backstory of the missing boy and his family. It is available to watch for free on the KOBOLD website. The player then puts on a VR headset and steps into the story, breaking into the abandoned villa, gathering clues, solving a mystery and entering a dark, mythical underworld inspired by European folklore and pagan mythology.
In order to make the transition from film to VR as immersive as possible, the entire villa (which is a real location in Brandenburg, Germany) and its surroundings were meticulously scanned with photogrammetry. Actors were also 3D scanned and brought to life in VR using motion capture and advanced facial capture technology.
AAA graphics from an indie studio, with character and level design, compelling gameplay and intuitive interactivity designed from the ground up for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
