PSVR 2 Outsold Original PSVR in First 6 Weeks, Sony Confirmsĭavidson isn’t alone in his desire to bring the adventure-puzzle game back to the forefront with virtual reality. Potential naysayers can refer to Davidson’s impressive résumé, which includes experience at Dreamworks specifically on the animated films Bee Movie (2007), Madagascar 2 (2008), and How to Train Your Dragon (2010). In fact, the whole team is composed of game and movie industry insiders-a hopeful sign to say the least, and probably the reason Ethereon stands out with unique art direction amidst a sea of games with gritty worlds and blinding lens flares. Other stretch goals past their main goal of $35,800 will allow the team to add support for Nimble Sense, the 3D hand tracking sensor, and if all that isn’t ambitious enough, will also bring the game to Android-based mobile VR.

Davidson’s team at Intervision Games are initially making Ethereon compatible with the Oculus Rift DK2, but providing they reach their stretch goal of $199,000, will also release the game for Sony’s Morpheus PS4 VR headset. Tony Davidson, one of the developers of the ever-classic Riven, has launched a new Kickstarter campaign to reinvigorate the adventure-puzzle genre with his made-for-VR experience.
