The Conflict
On a barren outer-system planet, the Tyris Corporation exploits the valuable resource Mercury, pushing the local population, the Heskar, into rebellion. With improvised mechs and sabotage tactics, the Heskar fight back.
In response, Tyris deploys its elite unit: RIS_TEC.
Players can experience both sides of the conflict:
RIS_TEC Mission: Hunt down and eliminate illegal Heskar mechs to restore corporate control.
Heskar Mission: Sabotage RIS_TEC cities at all costs and disrupt the occupying force.

To deepen immersion even further, Mercury fully supports native bHaptics vest integration.
The Team & the Project
Mercury is the world’s first fast-paced VR mecha brawler controlled entirely through hand gestures, developed as a technical showcase for Meta Quest 3 and 3S.
Mercury was developed in just two months by a team of six students as part of the Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition 2025 and as a fourth semester project.
