Experience ‘Detective VR’: A ‘Minority Report’-Inspired Game in Mixed Reality, Arriving Soon on Quest

The indie game studio, Chipo y Juan, is gearing up for an exciting release of their new mixed reality game, Detective VR, which draws inspiration from the iconic Minority Report. Gamers can look forward to exploring this innovative game on Quest starting next week.

Detective VR will be available for Quest 3 and 3S users on February 27th. This narrative-driven mixed reality game invites you to harness the power of time manipulation, allowing you to gather clues and interview witnesses right in your own living room using Passthrough mode.

Blending elements from popular titles like Return of the Obra Dinn, Immortality, and of course, Minority Report, the developers at Chipo y Juan explain that solving cases won’t always be a straightforward task. You’ll have to navigate unreliable eyewitness accounts and confront suspects, all while shifting between mixed and virtual reality environments.

Exclusively launching on the Quest platform, Detective VR offers a robust five hours of engaging story-driven gameplay. The game lets you rewind, pause, and play scenes to discover hidden clues in the timeline, increasing the depth of your investigations. Throughout this journey, you’ll be interacting with six characters, each brought to life through motion capture and compelling voice performances.

Some of the familiar voices you’ll encounter include talents who have graced television hits such as The Crown, Succession, and Doctor Who. The cast includes the likes of Luke Mably, Angus Wright, Melissa Bright, Hannah Wright, David Clark, and Bryony Byrne.

Based in Marseille, France, Chipo y Juan is no stranger to immersive experiences. They’ve worked on several VR projects previously, including the narrative-driven VORTEX VR in 2023 for Quest, along with numerous installations for art exhibitions.

If you’re eager to dive into this detective adventure, you can pre-order Detective VR on the Horizon Store for your Quest 3 and 3S today. The game comes with a pre-order discount of $24, a great deal ahead of its full price of $30. Get ready to put your detective skills to the test!
