Duel View Mechanic
The main mechanic our experience utilizes to tell its narrative is the ability to glimpse into the future. When the immersant switches into future, they will be able to gather clues to help them fix the problems in the present and stop the horrific events of the future. This is done by holding the "A" button on the VR hand-controller, which plays a small transition for the immersants before switching to a different timeline.
VR Core Mechanics
To allow our user to utilize the dual view mechanic, we developed our core VR mechanics to revolve around the user holding a button that allows immersants to switch between present and future timeline views. We also made movement simple and intuitive for the user by utilizing the VR hand controller's joystick to move the player around, while the player uses their headset to rotate and turn.
The immersant is also able to interact with their surroundings utilizing their controllers , such as grabbing and holding objects important to the narrative, as well as interacting with their fox companion by petting or playing with them.
