About Zen Universe

Zen Universe

The Zen Universe brings the world to you through the magic of VR. Immerse yourself into high-detail realistic 3D environments powered by ground-breaking virtual reality technology. Visit real-life locations and discover hidden natural treasures wherever you are. Discover ruins of ancient civilizations, explore the past and the present.
Take your picks from a library of real and unreal experiences, all developed in Unreal Engine 4. Whether it’s the most famous landmarks you’ve never dreamt of visiting or places of fiction you’ve always dreamt of going to, the power of virtual reality will take you there. Our state-of-the-art technology raises the industry bar in realism, entertainment, and interactivity. Explore the many worlds of ZenArt VR to marvel, relax, learn or play.

Hyper-realistic visuals

ZenART VR is on the cutting edge of 3D-scanning technology. Our wide range of surfaces, textures, and materials, not only look stunning at first glance but hold up on close inspection. We use powerful tools to render photoreal images in real-time, while our post-processing technology allows us to put the finishing touches for Hollywood-grade image quality.

Historical guide

You are never alone. Our virtual guides are always there to help you with tips and suggestions. Learn about a location’s history and relive it from the perspective of the people who were there when it happened. Then tap into the world of magic by exploring the myths, legends, and unsolved mysteries throughout the millennia.

Dynamic weather

Every aspect of a Zen Universe location is fully rendered in-engine and adaptive to the dynamic weather system. Watch the rain pour down, snow cover the distant hills in the background and the rays of light play in the sky, piercing clouds and treetops moved by the wind.

Day & Night Cycle
Discover beautiful virtual worlds as they change before your very eyes. The Zen Universe day & night cycle and dynamic lighting technology give an accurate representation of the effects of time on the environment, but also allow us to create a larger-than-life movie-like atmosphere for you to immerse yourself in.

Real-life

Explore the world’s most renowned landmarks without leaving the comfort of your home. Our team travels there for you and spends countless hours recreating the locations as accurately as possible so you can feel like you’re actually there. The line between reality and virtual simulation has never been so narrow.

Early Access
This is an exclusive first look at the Zen Universe. Supporting us on Early Access will grant you access to 2 of 4 planned destinations: Tales of the Rocks - an ancient fortress and a natural marvel, and Olympus: Home of the Gods - a mythical quest for knowledge. This bundle will be upgraded to feature all 4 destinations FOR FREE when the complete Zen Universe is released.

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's beautiful art design and educational value as a relaxing VR experience, with some calling it exceptional. However, they consistently criticize the lack of development support, noting the game appears abandoned with minimal updates since 2020, buggy controls that hinder exploration, and a €25 price point that feels unjustified for the limited content (only two locations) and current state of polish. Many recommend waiting for improvements or deep sales before purchasing.

Not recommended Jun 2, 2020
Great potential, but the controls and user experience can use a bit of polish. I couldn't seem to click the play/sound boards in the first half of the experience. As an early access, I think its fair, but the price seems a tad bit high for what you're getting at this time. Overall, I can't recommend it at this time, however good thing is that the devs seem to be actively making improvements.

Caution: App/Game looks already abandoned by now. With a release in May 2020 the last update came two weeks later. Last message of the developers was in September 2020. Unfortunately that looks a bit like a quick money grab. Also the homepage ZenArt is telling they got a nice grant by epic games in March 2020. So what you get is two locations you can explore. Admittedly they are well done and some nice edutainment but still demanding some polishing and not worth 25 euro. Maybe give it a try on a very deep sale and just don't expect the other two locations to be released.

first, thank you for creating this beautiful and educational VR games. my suggestion are : can I able to have more user fun tools in my left hand, (1) a camera to take 360 2D/3D picture, (2) allow to fly around or bird view in air, and fly up high anywhere, (4) able to import your own MP3 music, (5) my hand to hold useful tools, flashlight, hand holding a walking stick, hand holding a maps of area to point and transfer to different area , (6) able to control the weather to have , snow, rain, lighting, wind, star in sky, birds . . . etc. (7) walk with a dog, or friends if possible (8) better and easy friendly user control and menus. this Zen Universe is a happy game, highly recommend to all VR users to enjoy. Please continue to improve and create new locations, this is an educational and fun VR game for everyone to buy. Thank you again

Games like Black Myth Wukong: the boss, not the world

Games like Black Myth Wukong have to replace the fight, not the setting: the deflect window, the transformations, the one-more-try pull. These do, from Ashina to Tsushima.

Games like Hollow Knight: one kingdom you have to learn

Games like Hollow Knight are judged on one thing: whether the world is a single place you learn or a menu of levels. These keep it connected, from Pharloom to a well full of secrets.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
