What is ROGAN: The Thief in the Castle?
This VR adventure follows Rogan, a thief who slips into Castle Blackstone shortly before it is placed on high alert over Lord Conrad’s death.
Victoria, a knight and one of Conrad’s trusted confidants, is suspected of murder after being seen leaving his room covered in blood. While trying to escape, she encounters Rogan. He believes she is innocent and agrees to search the castle with her for evidence identifying the actual killer.
Rogan must get past the guards through covert actions, taking possessions, staying out of sight, diverting attention, and laying traps. Footsteps, conversations nearby, and doors shutting provide sound cues he can use to judge the situation and choose what to do. The story follows the search for Conrad’s murderer and Victoria’s attempt to clear her name.
