Liz: Before the Plague

Liz: Before the Plague is a story-driven VR horror experience with investigative and shooting gameplay. In Boston in 2138, special investigation unit agent Liz responds at night to a distress call from a pharmaceutical company. Two of her colleagues were sent there earlier, but when Liz arrives, the atmosphere is unusual and they are nowhere to be found. She investigates the call, gathers information and tries to survive using her tools.

Investigate the building

The investigation focuses on events inside the company building. You explore its environments, solve puzzles to open new areas and use advanced tools supported by Liz’s drone, B-4. The case concerns who called for help and what happened at the site.

Defend Liz and others

People working at the company attack Liz as she investigates. She has a handgun to defend herself, but must contain violence to complete the mission. Some situations also require her to cover a wounded ally or escort a survivor, while others help defend against threats.

VR presentation

The game presents its environments and characters in VR, with Liz’s body visible and following the player’s movements where possible. The interface appears on her gear, and NPCs address the player directly. Some of Liz’s mission is shown through third-person cinematics.
