In this video I take a look at Journey For Elysium,* a mythological journey to Elysium in VR.

This is basically a fantastic title. The virtual reality environments are an amazing experience. It begins with you falling from a cliff to your death where you are transported to purgatory. Once there you need to complete tasks and challenges to escape to Elysium.

Most or your travelling is done in a row boat which was my favourite part of the game. You have a two handed oar and need to row to your destination with accurate rowing physics, it's great fun. I found docking a little troublesome though, sometimes finding myself back in the boat by accident and having to row out and back into the docking zone again, but that was my only complaint so I'm going to forgive it.

Initially it was mostly fetch tasks but as it progressed there were more complicated tasks. Climbing, shooting flaming arrows, and even playing a harp were some I encountered (my favourite was still navigating the row boat). Their all story driven and the scale of the environment is fantastic. It's a great experience, don't miss it.

Developer’s description...

ABOUT THIS GAME
Journey For Elysium is a story-driven VR game inspired by Greek and Roman mythology. Players will take on the role of an unnamed hero who has passed away. He finds himself on a boat in the Underworld trapped between life and death. In order to reach Elysium and obtain redemption, the mysterious traveller must use all his wits and skills in a series of increasingly elaborate twists and challenges. Along the way, he will discover more about his past.

Key features:
Art style: enjoy the black and white art style inspired by the paintings of Gustave Doré. The high contrast art style fits best in recreating the desired atmosphere of the underworld. In addition, you will find golden highlights here and there, which will guide you further along the way.

Puzzles: Journey for Elysium brings back the excitement of classic adventures games of the 90’s and revamps them for a new era. Look for clues and solve an increasingly complex range of puzzles, challenges and tests to move the story forward.

A lot to discover: immerse yourself in a rich world, grounded between history and myth. Explore breathtaking environments and unravel surprising facts of the Classical antiquity. Connect with your senses to this VR storytelling experience.

Mechanics: travel on the river Styx and explore the underworld with the rowing mechanic, the most important travelling method in the game. This natural way of transportation feels very comfortable and immersive.

Two modes: when you are not rowing, you can experience two different ways of moving around. The Immersive Mode lets you walk through the world via the analog controls, whereas the Comfort Mode lets you teleport around the world to avoid any VR motion sickness for people prone to it.
