Robot Zoo Games are hard at work on Relic, their first title and a first-person story-focused game. 

Summoned from Earth and left stranded on a distant planet not too different from our own, there is only one path home: exploration. Unravel the planet's mysteries, gain or disregard the trust of its residents, and uncover your powers, both without and within. 

An intense, first-person narrative experience, Relic aims to leverage the unique possibilities VR technology creates, to push story-experiences one step further. Become immersed in a beautifully developed fantasy world, and experience the inhabitants’ complex struggles and needs. Develop deep relationships with your new-found companions in a game that explores themes of friendship and loss.
