Steam App ID: 868940

Hi, we’re Digital Myths \. \. \. and welcome to our Study\.  The Curious Study of Dr\. Blackwood is a short, sweet, and simple VR tech demo that shows off our VR skills, as well as gives a sneak peek at our work on our first title, a supernatural adventure game called Project Spectral\.  Relax in the beautiful virtual space, mess around with weird objects and magical abilities, or dig a little deeper to uncover some insider secrets we’ve left for you to find\.   So this is a game demo?  Not exactly\!  This isn’t a traditional demo in the sense of showing off story or full gameplay – we’re not quite that far along yet\! But we have created some pretty awesome stuff that we’re proud of – art, environment, effects, magic system, interactions, and virtual presence – and we wanted to share it as soon as we could\.  We hope you enjoy this little taste \. \. \. and come back for the more adventurous entrée later\!    So if it’s not a game demo, what do I do?  Whatever you like\!  We created this virtual space for users to experiment with in VR\.  Pick up items, interact with objects, maybe even try casting a few spells\.  Keep an eye out for mysterious secrets, or Easter eggs that reveal more about our team and our development\.  Or just draw a comfy chair up by the fire and relax \. \. \. and try not to worry about that glowering gargoyle in the corner\. \. \.
