Infinite Inside - a whole new mixed reality experience

When the enigmatic ancient artefact known as the ‘Plinth’ mysteriously materialises in the player’s home, it opens a portal to a tranquil, dream-like world, filled with impossible architecture and hidden secrets. Guided by echoes of past explorers, players will collect shards, solve three-dimensional puzzles, and assemble keys to unlock the mysteries of a secret society, committed to maintaining the balance of order and chaos. Players are enticed to solve the puzzles, reveal the truth about society, the legacy of the Plinth and own their place in this mystical world.


Key features are:

 

  • Room-scale gameplay that seamlessly blends mixed and virtual reality.

  • Five stunning worlds, where players escape into peaceful and soothing labyrinths filled with mysteries.

  • Players can manipulate 3D geometric puzzles using precise intuitive hand tracking.

  • Players engage with a deep and captivating story embedded in the world.

  • For Apple Vision Pro, the game features 3D spatial audio and cinematic sound design 

 
Ian Hambleton, Maze Theory CEO, says: “With Infinite Inside we’re looking to break new ground, by interweaving MR and VR in previously unseen ways. Demo feedback shows we’ve hit the spot, as mixed reality fans and gamers love it.”


He adds: “It's the advanced, innovative new experience that early adopters of MR technology (Quest 3, Apple VisionPro) have been waiting for. The game has a broad appeal for curious creatives and problem solvers, tech enthusiasts as well as fans of adventure and puzzle gaming. It’s pure escapism and offers top quality graphic environments and intuitive authentic interaction.”
