Our take on Robinson: The Journey
Rather than separating story scenes from play, this adventure keeps the narrative within first-person exploration. Its non-linear structure, free movement, and lack of cutscenes replace a conventional sequence of scripted cinematic transitions.
What is Robinson: The Journey?
After the Esmeralda crashes on Tyson III, Robin is stranded and depends on HIGS, an AI unit from the ship, while searching for the missing crew.
This first-person VR adventure centers on exploration, environmental interaction, and a narrative revealed as Robin moves through the alien ecosystem. Dinosaurs and other creatures react to his presence. Free movement allows players to choose routes, revisit locations, collect achievements, discover rare items, and interact with surroundings. The story follows a non-linear structure and unfolds from the player’s viewpoint rather than through cutscenes. Built with CRYENGINE, the game presents a vibrant world with realistic sound, large-scale environments, and creatures encountered across Tyson III.
