Our take on Profundum

Rather than centering an adventure on combat or traversal, Profundum makes industrial machinery the main structure of play. Progress comes from observing physical relationships between gears, chains, steam, and other components, while the surrounding clues provide the mystery.

What is Profundum?

Profundum is a virtual reality adventure set in a steampunk world beneath an abandoned excavation site.

Players descend through an underground complex, solving puzzles and investigating clues about its unexplained closure. Progress depends on interacting with objects and machinery in the environment, including gears, chains, furnaces, steam machines, and other mechanical components. These interactions can repair or alter contraptions that open the way deeper into the complex. Observant players can find sketches, notes, and other clues connected to the site’s history. The game uses physics for interactions such as gear friction, chain movement, and steam-driven mechanisms, with particle simulation for jets of steam. It is optimized for fluid virtual reality performance on reasonable configurations.

How Profundum plays

01Mechanical Puzzles: Progress involves repairing or modifying contraptions made from gears, chains, furnaces, and steam machinery.
02Environmental Clues: Sketches, notes, and other discoveries reveal information about the excavation site’s past.
03Physics-Based Machinery: Gear friction, chain movement, and steam effects shape how industrial mechanisms operate.
