Can you navigate the deep unknown? Asymmetric co-op multiplayer survival, built on Web technologies and inspired by Knightmare and The Crystal Maze. One player dons a VR viewer to blindly navigate the procedurally-generated environment, while the rest of the team verbally guides the survivor safely to the exit. Co-operation, trust, and good timing is essential! WIP concept from the Global Game Jam 2016.
