Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players who want head-and-hand-controlled combat instead of standard controller movement
- Action players who prefer physics-driven fights over fixed attack animations
- Players who want first- and third-person views rather than a single combat perspective
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want immediately familiar movement and controls rather than a system that takes time to learn
- Players seeking tightly scripted encounters instead of physics-driven fights that vary between sessions
- VR players who prefer Vive Wands as their input device
Our take on Holoception
Its defining detail is embodied third-person control: a small combat avatar mirrors the player’s head and hands while the camera frames the action from different scales and angles.
What is Holoception?
Holoception is a VR action combat arena game built around controlling a small character from third- and first-person views.
The avatar mirrors the player’s head and hand movements, while a flexible camera can rotate, snap, zoom, and switch between normal scale and a miniature puppet-world perspective. Combat uses physics, inverse-kinematics movement, and ragdolls: objects, enemies, and weapons can be grabbed, thrown, or used against other enemies. Players can trigger slow motion, block attacks, avoid bullets, double-jump, and unlock weapons, upgrades, and abilities while progressing through levels. The locomotion and controls require time to learn, and Vive Wands are not currently recommended as an input device.
How Holoception plays
- 01Embodied Avatar Control
- The playable character reproduces the player’s head and hand positions while viewed from outside the avatar.
- 02Adjustable Camera Views
- The camera supports manual rotation, snap turning, zoom, normal scale, and a miniature world perspective.
- 03Physics-Based Combat
- Enemies and objects can be grabbed, thrown, and used in attacks through physics and ragdoll interactions.
- 04Slow-Motion Combat
- A manually activated slow-motion mode can interrupt attacks and provide time to evade bullets.
- 05Weapon Progression
- Level progression adds weapons, upgrades, and abilities that open new ways to defeat enemies.
