‘The Under Presents’ Is A Novel Exploration Of VR And Live Immersive Theatre

960x0-8The new experience from Virtual Virtual Reality studio Tender Claws, in collaboration with Piehole, launches on Oculus Quest today.

Now, after previews at Sundance Film Festival and IndieCade, the studio behind VVR is back with the official Oculus Quest launch of The Under Presents—a title that finds Tender Claws again pushing the envelope for the language of immersive storytelling.

The first thing you need to know about The Under is that a lot is happening in The Under. The game is particularly notable, though, in its presentation of narrative and agency; its integration of immersive theatre and live interactivity; and its interaction design.

In The Under Presents, there is definitely a meta aspect at work, but not quite so obviously as in VVR. Worlds nest within and throughout each other—be they ships in bottles or time loops.
