Intriguing mixed-reality narrative platformer Demeter, The Asklepios Chronicles arrives on the Meta Quest

Virtual reality is astounding, but you don’t see many game companies experimenting in mixed reality with headsets. Introducing Demeter, a first of it’s kind mixed reality narrative platformer that reacts to the space you’re in. It’s a truly unique idea, and I look forward to checking it out. The trailer is above, check that out with the details below.

January 25, 2023: Built from the ground up especially for Mixed Reality, “Demeter, The Asklepios Chronicles” is the first-ever mixed reality platformer of its kind, and is available today on the Meta Quest Store for $19.99. Created by Novelab, the team behind award-winning immersive XR narrative projects and experiences like “Spheres,” “Notes on Blindness,” “Vandals,” and more, comes “Demeter” for lovers of narrative platformers and adventures. Using mixed reality to alter your space to create a world unlike you’ve ever imagined, Demeter, The Asklepios Chronicles is available now, exclusively on the Quest 3, Quest 2, and Quest Pro.

“For the first time in history, humans can interact and play with a miniature fantasy world that adapts and reacts to their own environment. To make Demeter, we had to entirely rethink from the ground up what it means to have fun, move, and explore the physical space around us so that each player’s experience will be truly unique and immersive,” said Paul Mezier, Executive Producer of Novelab.

In this mixed reality narrative platformer adventure, you need to help the main character Atalanta understand how and why she ends up in your house. Explore a new universe as it appears in your own space. Demeter, The Asklepios Chronicles dynamically adapts to rooms of any size. The game will modify the way you see your environment, as your walls and furniture set the stage for every new level in Atalanta’s story. Travel together with Atalanta through your space to discover the ancient world of Demeter and unravel its mysteries.

The game seamlessly blends the Demeter world with our own, furniture and walls become intricate puzzles requiring talent and skill. In the end, your final choices and discoveries will matter, the fate of Demeter and Atalanta is quite literally in your hands.

The game generation ensures that no two playthroughs are alike, constructing an entirely new world within spaces of any size, from cozy corners to expansive rooms.

“With Demeter, we explore the possibilities of mixed reality by no longer making the game a parallel universe, but indeed an extension of our reality. From the first moments, we wanted to link the player’s real world to the game itself, whether in the approach of movement or gesture, but also narratively by putting the player at the center of the story. Why do I control the character of Atalanta? What is she doing in my house? What role does the player have in all this? This sensitive and holistic approach is built to emotionally bring the player to the climax at the ending.” said Fabrice Jouvenot, Game Director of Demeter, The Asklepios Chronicles.
