Blueprint Reality, Inc. (www.blueprintreality.com ), a virtual reality game and toolset developer founded by former Roadhouse Interactive team members, announced today that it has launched its premiere game Awaken, an original physics-based kinetic fantasy puzzle game for the HTC Vive and Oculus Touch on the Steam Early Access store, and in development for Sony PlayStation VR.
In Awaken, the player is an architect of light, solving a series of puzzles to evolve fantastic worlds with player interaction. Players solve each world individually, edit existing worlds and create new ones; then share these with friends and other players as challenges. Set in vibrant worlds with a dramatic art style, Awaken provides a mesmerizing visual and aural experience only available in VR.
“We are very excited to launch Awaken, a visually stunning puzzle game and dynamic music experience,” stated Tarrnie Williams, industry veteran and Blueprint Reality CEO. “We set out to make a VR title with approachable, engaging gameplay and a universe that sets a powerful yet meditative tone.”
In Awaken the player represents a new beginning. Players must awaken the universe, for it has too long been shrouded in darkness. Throughout the game, players must unlock and use their powers to guide the pulse of light and, as they harness the energy, awaken the Guardians. Together with the Guardians, players can push back the darkness and once again bathe the universe in light, and then life.
Ultimately, five different worlds will be available for players to explore, with each world providing 30 different puzzles or levels. The Early Access game includes all 30 of the puzzles for World 1, as well as the in-game level builder where players can create an unlimited amount of new levels using any and all of the puzzle pieces from World 1. A content update, at no additional charge, is planned within a month of release for World 2 and its puzzles, as well as an in-game content curation and sharing system.
