Description



Journey For Elysium is a story-driven VR game inspired by Greek and Roman mythology. Players will take on the role of an unnamed hero who has passed away. He finds himself on a boat in the Underworld trapped between life and death. In order to reach Elysium and obtain redemption, the mysterious traveller must use all his wits and skills in a series of increasingly elaborate twists and challenges. Along the way, he will discover more about his past.

Key features:

Art style: enjoy the black and white art style inspired by the paintings of Gustave Doré. The high contrast art style fits best in recreating the desired atmosphere of the underworld. In addition, you will find golden highlights here and there, which will guide you further along the way.



Puzzles: Journey for Elysium brings back the excitement of classic adventures games of the 90’s and revamps them for a new era. Look for clues and solve an increasingly complex range of puzzles, challenges and tests to move the story forward.



A lot to discover: immerse yourself in a rich world, grounded between history and myth. Explore breathtaking environments and unravel surprising facts of the Classical antiquity. Connect with your senses to this VR storytelling experience.



Mechanics: travel on the river Styx and explore the underworld with the rowing mechanic, the most important travelling method in the game. This natural way of transportation feels very comfortable and immersive.



Two modes: when you are not rowing, you can experience two different ways of moving around. The Immersive Mode lets you walk through the world via the analog controls, whereas the Comfort Mode lets you teleport around the world to avoid any VR motion sickness for people prone to it.

If you are prone to motion sickness, beware of the boat ride! Sadly I couldn't not handle it and had to refund the game because of it. I only played for 17 minutes and then I had to lay down for an hour because I felt

I'd give this game a "neutral" rating if I could. It's alright, not terrible. For simple scoring, I'd give this a 6/10. Get it for a price you feel is fair for a 2 hour puzzle-platformer. To get the main grievances out

The mood of the game is excellent and I enjoyed it up to the final level, but climbing these towers is too much for me. I absolutely dislike this time pressure and action stuff, because I'm simply too clumsy for it.

mostly black and white, low quality textures, vomit inducing and boring. the puzzles are really simple and dont offer much, the story is also not worth it, very slow and not engaging at all. It does everything a VR game

One of the worst VR experiences I have had in a while. Near the beginning you are forced to use a boat that is almost impossible to control and constantly spinning slowly in a direction. Instant headache when it spun

This was a fairly direct puzzle game, wishing my archery skills weren't so crappy. Climbing Apollo's temple where playing the lyre to open handholds to get up to the next platform is timed, and the controllers had
