Unseen Diplomacy: a VR obstacle course

“I love the Vive, but my biggest problem was that it didn’t feel like there was actually much in the way of games for it. Nothing that really highlighted the platform. That is, until Unseen Diplomacy crawled through a vent and started scurrying around behind some crates in the corner.” – Jake Tucker

About

Unseen Diplomacy casts you as an elite member of The British Espionage Tactical Initiative, defeating the plans of evil-doers around the world.

 

With a real-life obstacle course created by the Vive’s incredible virtual reality environment, you will run and roll, sneak and solve your way through volcano lairs and moon bases. Watch your friends become VR spies!

 

Unseen Diplomacy was built in only six weeks and was released on Steam on April 5th 2016. It’s a game that’s designed to make the most of your room space, so check the requirements carefully.

 

It’s a great game to exhibit so if you want to bring it to your event or space (online or in a physical location) then let us know. We can create bespoke installations based on your requirements but please allow a minimum of one month for preparation and arrangements.

Play

The game is available via Steam, or on location at the National Videogame Arcade in Nottingham, UK.
