ReQuest - A journey for heroes

Bachelor thesis, Game Design, 2019, Zurich University of the Arts.
ReQuest is an adventure game that is played with a virtual reality headset.

It focuses on the classic hero‘s journey: The player helps the game characters to survive a journey over five acts. If all goes well, those sent out return home as heroes. This classic material is reduced to a board game aesthetic in the game, whereby the animated characters appear to act autonomously and have a certain life of their own. Players enter a virtual space where the action field of the hero‘s journey is arranged in a circle around them. Body movements in real space can be used to determine what happens in virtual space and position game characters or playing fields.
