METABOW 🏹

METABOW is a Virtual Reality archery game where you work with a mystic deity to solve ancient shrines and free them from demons.

• solve ancient puzzles in abandoned shrines with your mighty bow
• solid bow and arrow 🏹 mechanics inspired by Valve's Longbow game
• overcome 4 various enemy species
• use  different arrow types to your advantage
• check out 5 different stages in the current prototype
• chill out and explore the home temple in the middle of the infinite sea
• no jumpscares or scary combat encounters - the enemies attack the holy blue flame, not you directly
• playtime: 30-45 minutes to complete all 5 stages

🏹 This is an early prototype - feedback welcome!

This is a rough pre-alpha prototype developed by an amateur indie game-dev in spare time. All feedback is warmly welcome! This project will evolve and change, nothing is set in stone and your voice will certainly help it go in a better direction.

🏹 Supported headsets and requirements

Tested on Oculus Quest using Oculus Link Beta and on Oculus Rift S.
Should work fine on Valve Index, HTC Vive and Windows MR headsets (not tested).

I don't have access to other VR headsets - any feedback very welcome if you use a Valve Index / HTC Vive / Windows MR. 

Runs fine on a GTX 1070 Max-Q even with third-person spectacor camera and video capture enabled.

This was made with Oculus Quest / Quest 2 in mind - I'll prepare an optimized sidequest build if there's enough interest - drop me a line if you'd like to play this untethered!

🏹 Controls

If you're left handed, you can adjust this in the pause menu (press the [RIGHT-HANDED] button to swap hands).

Press number 0 (zero) to enable the third-person camera (this will heavily affect your FPS).
