About This Game

It is 2068. The majority of humanity lives under the mind control of Gaia, an artificial quantum intelligence. Your task: free the 99% from the simulation.

Join RISE99, a hacker group taking the fight to the tyrant’s sky castle. Grab your hoverboard, draw your saberguns, and charge through its high-security defenses to defeat Gaia.

RISE99 is a sci-fi VR action game built around endless-runner hoverboard action, cinematic combat, and the freedom to fight your way.

/// Surf through the air on your hoverboard ///

Rebels infiltrate high-security sky castles on hoverboards.
You steer by leaning your upper body—just like surfing!

/// Enter bullet time with mind-hacking abilities ///

Mindhackers are connected to quantum computers that overclock their brains under intense fire.
This lets you see incoming plasma projectiles in cinematic slow motion.

/// Let your saberguns dance ///

The sabergun is—you guessed it—both a sword and a gun.
Slice incoming projectiles in half and let the enemy drones taste your blazing fire!

/// Pull the trigger and feel the impulse ///

Your shooting skills are tested against an army of shielded enemy drones.
Are you skillful enough to blast moving targets while surfing?

Do you become a surfer of death, dancer of blades, or blaster of plasma? Or a hack of all trades? Regardless of your speciality, RISE99 needs you to join them.

It is 2068. A secret group of oligarchs calling themselves “The Ones” have created Gaia, a quantum supercomputer designed to control humanity. The majority, “the 99%”, are now sleeping in Gaia's simulation without knowing it. The resistance group RISE99 seeks mindhackers to breach the digital mind of Gaia. Your goal: destroy Gaia’s security systems and free humanity from the simulation.

RISE99 is more than a VR game. It is a training programme for mindhackers, designed to elevate your mind-body connection, focus and coordination. Despite the sensation of surfing at speed, the movement feels comfortable in VR and is well tolerated by the playtesters. You can play seated or standing.

This might be the only wake-up call you’ll get.
So we ask you to make a decision:

Do you want to wake up and fight for our freedom?
Or do you want to continue sleeping in the simulation controlled by oligarchs?

We are RISE99. Join the resistance. Beat the system.
