We couldn’t be more excited to share that our VR game, The ChicKing Dead, is now up and running for Early Access on the Meta Oculus Store! We’re a passionate gaming studio based in South Korea, and we’ve poured our extensive XR development experience into crafting this thrilling Free-to-Play VR multiplayer romp. It combines arm-based movement with the chaotic fun of tag-style gameplay.

Introducing Quantum Universe

Hello from Quantum Universe! We’re a dynamic VR game development studio nestled in the heart of Seoul. Our talented team boasts a wealth of experience in XR technologies, ranging from VR to AR and MR, cultivated through numerous successful projects. The ChicKing Dead marks our first flagship offering, and it’s all about delivering a riveting dose of fun, energy, and madness right on your VR headset.

Why Is The ChicKing Dead a Game-Changer?

Our game rides the wave of the hottest VR trend—arm-based locomotion. Picture swinging your arms in real life to leap, sprint, and soar within the game. But we didn’t stop there. Feel the rush as you dash, boost, and string together movements to seize control of the battlefield with thrilling ease. It’s a fast-paced adventure that promises excitement from start to finish.

When Zombies Have Chickens for Company – A Tag-Meets-Survival Experience

Each game kicks off with nine players, and one lucky soul (or unlucky) becomes the Alpha Zombie. Your mission is to turn the rest of the crowd—the Normal Chickens—into zombies. Once a chicken is tagged, it joins your side, and the hunt continues. The match wraps up when all chickens are zombified or the clock ticks down to zero. Whether you’ll be the one dodging and darting for survival or strategizing to spread the infection, it’s bound to be unpredictable fun every time.

LocoRoid System – Where Mobility Meets Strategy

We’re particularly proud of our LocoRoid system! These robotic companions unlock phenomenal movement-based skills, adding layers of customization and strategy. Whether it’s executing a sharp dash or launching sky-high vertically, each LocoRoid comes with unique abilities, enabling you to play to your strengths and crush the competition in your own way.

Level Up, Style Up

In the Early Access version, you can level up as you play and rake in Coins and Feathers. Exchange these for myriad cosmetics, ranging from quirky to utterly outrageous—ever fancied wearing an egg as a hat? Whether plowing through as a survivor or wreaking havoc as a zombie, your efforts are handsomely rewarded. Play the game your way and look amazing while doing it.

Early Access Party – Join the Fun!

To celebrate our Early Access launch, we’re hosting some special events brimming with excitement! From login challenges to holiday-themed goodies, there’s a ton to win including exclusive, time-limited rewards. Keep up with all the fun via our official Discord, and dive right into the joyful chaos!

Looking to the Future

This is just the start. Our plan post-Early Access involves incorporating community feedback to expand and refine the game further. Expect leaderboards, seasonal events, and even competitive leagues as part of our roadmap. We’re building more than just a game—we’re nurturing a vibrant, player-driven community.

The ChicKing Dead is our debut in the VR world, showcasing our dedication to combining fun, innovation, and inventive ideas. We’re eager for players to immerse themselves in the delightful madness of surviving as a chicken amidst a zombie apocalypse.
