‘Detective VR’ Set to Launch on Quest: Experience ‘Minority Report’-Style Gameplay in Mixed Reality

The indie game studio Chipo y Juan is making waves with their upcoming release, Detective VR, a mixed reality game drawing inspiration from the iconic film Minority Report. Scheduled to launch on the Quest platform next week, this new title is sure to intrigue gamers looking for an immersive narrative experience.

Set to be available for Quest 3 and 3S starting February 27th, Detective VR spins an engaging narrative within a mixed reality setting. It lets players manipulate time, gather vital clues, and interview witnesses right in their own living rooms using the Passthrough mode. The game’s unique approach promises to breathe life into your personal space as you sleuth your way through various challenges.

Chipo y Juan promises a rich gameplay experience blending elements from titles like Return of the Obra Dinn and Immortality, and yet nodding to the futuristic storytelling style of Minority Report. Players shouldn’t expect a straightforward journey; unreliable narrators and conflicting testimonies will keep you on your toes, necessitating frequent jaunts between MR and virtual reality to crack the cases.

Exclusively available on the Quest platform, Detective VR is designed to captivate with about five hours of story-driven gameplay. Featuring six characters brought to life through motion capture and voice acting, players have the power to rewind, pause, or play scenes to unearth hidden clues within the narrative timeline.

Moreover, you’ll likely find familiar faces amongst the cast, comprising talent from popular TV series like The Crown, Succession, and Doctor Who. The roster includes notable names such as Luke Mably, Angus Wright, Melissa Bright, Hannah Wright, David Clark, and Bryony Byrne, adding depth to the game’s immersive storytelling.

Based in Marseille, France, Chipo y Juan has carved a niche in the VR domain with past ventures, including the narrative-focused VORTEX VR for Quest and other experiences tailored for different art exhibitions.

For eager fans, Detective VR is available for pre-order on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and 3S, priced at a promotional rate of $24, a well-worth prelude to its full price of $30.
