About this game

Control a Phoenix using your real-world movement in a room-scale third-person action shooter where physical positioning, fast reactions, and reality shifting decide survival.

Move through your play space to guide Firestorm, a powerful Phoenix that follows your controllers. Physically dodge incoming laser fire, unleash fire attacks, and outmaneuver enemy drones across shifting realities. You don’t hold weapons — your movement is the control.

  • Room-scale physical gameplay designed for active VR
  • Move around your real-world space to steer the Phoenix in real time
  • Physically dodge incoming attacks and hazards
  • Reach for power-ups and protect vulnerable allies

Guide a Phoenix from a unique third-person perspective:

  • Controller-driven movement and positioning
  • Fireballs and flame attacks launched from the Phoenix
  • Spatial awareness combined with fast arcade-style action

Shift between realities to change the battlefield:

  • Toggle worlds to alter combat flow
  • Adapt strategy as environments transform
  • Balance reflexes with tactical decisions

A narrative-driven action adventure blending sci-fi fantasy with physical VR gameplay and classic arcade inspiration.

Move to the upbeat soundtrack by legendary composer Grant Kirkhope. Amplify the immersion with bHaptics TactSuit, TactSleeve and TactVisor to feel every explosion and hit in your bones.
