About the Game

Did I ever tell you about how I lost me leg?

Yes? Fine, then I'll tell you all about how I cast the dreaded beast down.

I donned my VR headset and descended deep into the ocean below! With my trusty submarine, I searched for the beast. But little did I know the beast were huntin' me back. I used all of the tools at me disposal, but 'twas of no use; the whale appeared right next to me. After lighting a smoke, I loaded the torpedo and fired upon the beast. But alas, no one knows what became of that whale. After all these years, I'm still searching for him. Perhaps you could join me, and we can embark on this asymmetric head-to-head VR showdown together.

Iron & Ivory is an asymmetric head-to-head VR showdown in which one player commands the submersible as the VR captain, while the other uses desktop controls to become the terrifying Sea Beast. Battle alone or against your friends in tense underwater duels where strategy, reflexes, stealth, and panic all collide beneath the surface.

As the VR Captain, you must operate your vessel from inside the cockpit. Search the darkness, track your enemy, manage your tools, and fire when the moment is right. Every second matters, and every mistake gives the beast another chance to strike.

As the Sea Beast, you are the danger in the deep. Stalk the submersible, avoid detection, close the distance, and destroy your opponent before they can line up the perfect shot.

Whether you are controlling the machine or commanding the monster, every match is a battle of patience, timing, and nerve.

Features:

  • Asymmetric gameplay between a VR captain and a desktop-controlled Sea Beast

  • Play alone or face off against friends

  • Choose your side: command the submersible or become the monster

  • Use strategy, stealth, reflexes, and deception to outplay your opponent

  • Immersive VR controls that put you inside the captain’s seat

  • head-to-head battles beneath the ocean

  • A dramatic nautical theme inspired by Moby Dick

The submersible is ready. The beast is waiting. Descend into the depths and decide who survives the hunt.
