About the Game

Step inside a novel. Adventures in the Light & Dark is an immersive VR story experience that places you inside the world of a book. Seated in surreal, atmospheric environments, you’ll turn each page by hand as the story unfolds around you through sound, mood, and setting.

Theo wakes on the shore of a fog-covered island with no clear idea how he got there. What begins as confusion soon becomes something far stranger: twisted places, uncanny encounters, and the bizarre orbit of Phaser Reach—the Greatest Space Station North of the Harbor. Part mystery, part dark comedy, and part dream, this is a short novel designed to be experienced rather than simply read.
