About the Game

Surge is one of the first real-time VR music videos created for the new generation of VR headsets and gives an amazing insight in the possibilities of VR as a medium for music videos. The seamless fusion between music and visual effects come to life in an overwhelming experience which transports the viewer into a world caught in a permanent sunset, inhabited by mysterious abstract creatures. You have to see it to believe it.


Both the visual experience and the music of Surge are created by Arjan van Meerten.
