Description

Spectro is a first person, ghost-busting, roguelike built exclusively for VR. Trap ghosts, dodge spells, loot chests, find hidden items, and explore an infinitely shifting haunted tower. Can you get to the top and return with the Mask of Okeem?

Something paranormal has been sweeping through the town of Weirdwood. Dust off your gear and head into the ever-changing haunted tower to return with the Mask of Okeem! Capture ghosts, search for hidden totems, and find powerful new items. Spectro is a ghost hunting VR action roguelike with free movement, spell dodging, and endless replayability.

History

The development started in 2015 after we realized how cool it was to explore hand crafted worlds in VR. The Night Cafe, our previous experience allowed you to walk through a painting, so why couldn't we make a procedural algorithm that allowed you to endlessly explore some place? We came up with the idea of Spectro, a game that features roguelike level generation with hand-crafted elements and with mechanics that encourage you to look around to find hidden details.

Features

  • Bust some ghosts
    Some channel energy, some throw bombs, others shoot lasers out of their eyes - they all want to get you!
  • Random level generation
    A unique layout every time, with new loot, ghosts, and challenges to overcome.
  • Upgrade your gear
    Open chests, find power ups, save up your coins to buy new gear.
  • VR from the ground up
    Designed with virtual reality in mind from the beginning. Mechanics that are optimized for hand presence including ducking, dodging, bomb bouncing, and more.
  • Locomotion choice
    Free-movement, teleport, and other options to customize your experience for comfort and immersion.
  • Hidden artifact challenges
    Find collectables and totems that trigger object challenges. Careful not to let a ghost see you or you may have to run!
