Welcome to the World of Umurangi Generation… in VR ThisUmurangi Generation VR is a creative sandbox game that promises an even more immersive gameplay experience, bringing you deeper into the world of Umurangi Generation with an increased level of freedom to experiment with your creativity. Welcome to the World of Umurangi Generation… in VR This Time. Set in Tauranga Aotearoa, you find yourself in a world facing a bleak future. With an impending crisis looming, major cities are walled off, with the United Nations deploying the military and towering mecha to defend against an alien invasion. As a courier for the Tauranga Express who is also an avid photographer, you’re afforded complete freedom to travel around Tauranga to document the world around you and its impending doom through the lenses of your camera. In Umurangi Generation VR, players are transported into the heart of Tauranga Aotearoa. Observe the impending doom right in front of your eyes, move around and interact with objects in a much more natural way. Your presence in the game world will in no doubt leave you with a feeling of immersion greater than ever before. Expand

    If you can play Umurangi Generation, you should play it. A masterfully told story that puts you at the centre in a unique, deeply meaningful way. [Issue#41, p.94]

    If Annapurna Interactive was to make their version of Pokemon Snap, it would be Umurangi Generation. Somehow, someway, Umurangi Generation VR gamifies photography in a way that makes it less of a chore and more of an emotional experience. Once you get past the jitters of the VR platforming, you’ll experience something more than just taking photos. You’ll be reminded of the joy photography instills – all thanks to virtual reality.

    A clever glimpse into a dystopian future, but one that suffers from an extremely weak VR implementation in terms of technology and content.
