Will you help join the resistance against the corporation? Will you hack into secure networks and fight to set the truth free? Well if you do not feel like doing those things will you hang out with your artificial intelligence and watch a movie, or maybe just head out to the arcade? Thankfully, you can do this and much more in Technolust.
Technolust is a Virtual Reality set in the near future that is being developed by Canadian based studio Iris Virtual Reality. The game is going to be released for PC, Mac, and Linux and will utilize Oculus Rift virtual reality.
Technolust will be a story driven puzzle and mystery game and since it is virtual reality, you will feel as much apart of this world as you feel in the real world.
Some great features about this game, besides the virtual reality, is there will be no HUD obstructing your view, a control scheme that allows you to just use a mouse, and a fully immersive/interactive world. Iris VR also says there might be a non-virtual reality version of Technolust to come.
Technolust is currently on kickstarter and runs to Saturday May 10th. The goal is to reach $30,000 and they are about $9,000 away from their goal.
Head on over to the kickstarter page to check out some more screenshots, a lot more awesome videos, and to download their prototype (as long as you have the Oculus Rift Development Kit). You can also check them out on their official website.
One thing is for sure and that is I can not wait to strap on my head mount, sit back, relax, and watch a movie with my artificial intelligence. Check back for more updates on Technolust and much more!
