Description: Demo build of Mythos. Controls (as the tutorial for in-game controls is very, very basic) Left Stick – to move around, press in to jump. Right Stick – perform various magic spells: 2 counter clockwise circles puts down a warp point, clockwise rotation lifts you and surrounding objects, pressing the Right Stick in warps you to the warp point. Pressing Left Trigger goes into First Person mode Extra hint: rotating your wand faster does not always increase the effects. Do it too much and your magic will overflow.

Review: Taking inspiration from the Mythos MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role-playing game) this experience features some truly amazing graphics. You seem to play as the devil or some sort of monster that is controlling the character in front of you so that the character releases you from your chains. This might be a short demo, but it is one that is truly enjoyable. The dark, scary view only makes this experience even more immersive.

The idea of this is that you enjoy the small experience and would like to see a lot more of it and I for one would love to see lots and lots more. Controlling the tiny character put in front of you around the truly massive stage is an amazing feeling. With a good online mode, this is one experience that is good enough to sell VR systems on its own.
