Our take on ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos

Its VR format also includes music performances, making the experience closer to an interactive science-fiction story than a conventional action adventure.

Set 300 years ahead in an underground Tokyo, this VR adventure follows Chloe, a pilot in the Prometheus organization, as she fights giant alien creatures called Meteora.
