Om demoen

The Amusement is a narrative VR adventure game in which you play as Samantha Burkhart. Sent by her mother to check her late-father’s abandoned amusement park, she is quickly facing complex childhood memories, as she uncovers and solves mysteries hidden in the park. Your exploration of the park uses redirected-walking techniques translating every real-life step into the game, creating an intense and fully immersive adventure.

Following her mother’s wishes, Samantha visits the old amusement park left behind by her father for one final inspection: a magnificent maze, the ruins of Atlantis… and of course, a Roller Coaster! Each attraction becomes an opportunity for Samantha to recall fragments of her childhood, marked by the turbulent relationship between her parents, Bridget and Hans. The latter died in the Great War, but still haunts Samantha’s thoughts. The park is heavily inspired by Luna Parks from a 1920s post-war period, providing both the setting and aesthetic of a game in which sorrow and nostalgia are tightly intertwined.

The Amusement is a VR adventure in which you fully embody Samantha, exploring the park as if you were truly there. Interact with the environment and dive into Samantha’s memories to uncover her story. The game uses redirected-walking techniques, translating every real-life step into in-game movement, adding an immersive and intense dimension to the experience.

In addition to walking, The Amusement also offers a variety of locomotion techniques including climbing, swinging, or riding carts. You can climb to dizzying heights or lose yourself in a twisting labyrinth, turning a routine inspection into a multisensory adventure.

A standard 2x2 meter playspace is all you need to walk around freely and explore the game's environments without controller-based movements. Players with smaller playspaces also have the option to explore the park with teleportation.

To explore the park and Samantha’s memories, you’ll have to solve various puzzles scattered throughout the attractions. You can pick up and manipulate many objects to search for clues and trigger intricate mechanisms to unlock new paths through the park.

Exciting puzzles, mysteries, and tasks are waiting to be solved — all by elevating the most engaging and fun interactions that VR has to offer.
