Our take on Vanishing Realms™
Rather than relying on button commands for basic sword actions, combat uses tracked physical movements for swings, dodges, and blocks. That shifts a familiar fantasy RPG combat loop toward embodied weapon handling.
What is Vanishing Realms™?
Vanishing Realms is a virtual reality role-playing game built around hand-held tracked controllers.
Players explore a fantasy world, search for artifacts, solve magical wards, and fight undead enemies in close combat. Sword swings, dodges, and blocks are performed with physical movements rather than button presses. Weapons are held directly, and combat involves blocking attacks, finding gaps in enemy defenses, and striking back. As players move deeper into the world, they face stronger foes. The setting includes ancient tombs, forests, treasure chests, weapon shops, and magical writings. Players can also use a backpack to handle food and healing draughts during their journey.
