This new VR experience is a story set in Isaac Asimov’s renowned Foundation sci-fi series, following Agent Ward of the Commission of Public Safety as they discover the dark realities of the Galactic Empire and are forced to make a choice between fighting to preserve it or joining the Foundation.
Check out the reveal trailer below:
Journey to Foundation is a VR experience that gives players a significant degree of agency with the direction of the story and incorporates a wide variety of possible gameplay approaches. From the developers:
Become a Galactic Spymaster
Whether you employ subterfuge and diplomacy, or use threats and manipulation to get your way, you have an arsenal of equipment, weapons, and special tools to approach every situation with.
Mentalics
The power of mental science allows you to uncover and influence the emotions of people around you. Use this to your advantage to gain information peacefully… or forcibly.
Participatory conversations
Converse with or coerce the people around you and build relationships with your companions using an intricate conversation system.
Choice & consequence
Characters will respond to your actions (or lack thereof). Keep in mind: how you approach each situation will impact the world around you. You have the power to influence your environment; will you rely on stealth and diplomacy, or take a more direct approach?
Shape-shifting arsenal
Let your weapon do the talking. Blast your way through areas with a set of swappable components to cover you and your companions in any situation.
Cutting-edge tools
At your disposal are the best spy tools the Empire has to offer: a plasma torch capable of cutting through the toughest alloys, a nanotech disguise that allows you to infiltrate enemy camps, and a sophisticated hacking tool that can penetrate the most complex computer systems.
Journey to Foundation will release in Autumn 2023 for PSVR2, Meta Quest 2 and Pico 4. Check out our coverage of the rest of the State of Play event as well.
