The Assembly, a new VR adventure game, is coming to PS4 with full support for Project Morpheus, developer nDreams has announced.

With a story penned by Tom Jubert (FTL, Penumbra, The Swapper), players are emerged into an underground world of The Assembly, a secretive collection of scientists, academics and engineers who believe morality in society is preventing scientific advancement. This group is prepared to do whatever it takes to discover a universal theory of everything.

“We were fortunate enough to start using VR headsets in the middle of 2013,” explained Patrick O’Luanaigh, CEO of nDreams. “Since then we’ve been experimenting, prototyping and trying all sorts of unusual ideas out.

“The Assembly includes lots of the gameplay mechanics that we found worked well in VR. For example, you get to control two different characters at various points, and in VR, you really notice details like their different heights, sounds and voices. Rather than playing as a silent character, we found that playing the role of characters in the story works really well, and helps make The Assembly feel quite different to most other VR projects.”

The game is also confirmed as in development for PC with Oculus Rift support.
