Kobold: Chapter I

Kobold: Chapter I is a room-scale VR horror game in which you play an urban explorer investigating a missing boy. You break into an abandoned villa in a forest in Germany, gather clues and solve the mystery, then enter a dark underworld inspired by European folklore and pagan mythology. Your actions can have grave consequences.

The villa and its story

A short film introduces the world and characters and tells the backstory of the boy and his family. The villa, a real location in Brandenburg, Germany, and its surroundings were scanned with photogrammetry. Actors were also 3D scanned and brought into VR using motion capture and facial capture.

Exploration and interaction

You move freely through the environment, pick up your flashlight and investigate the villa and the world beyond it. The game uses interactive environments and intuitive interactions designed for room-scale VR.
