Firebird - La Peri

A brilliant piece of VR art , in the early days of mainstream VR. Very atmospheric and a technical delight. Innerspace VR went on to create some groundbreaking and quite brilliant games , such as A Fisherman's Tale (1 and 2) - I strongly recommend you give those a go - as complete games. 9 years later, this stands out as a high quality tech demo for the studio at the time.

Not only are you center stage, but manifestations of the winged spirit move about you including some spectacularly rendered motion-capture ballet dancing. These occur in short sequences interspersed by moments of book narration that place you back onto an empty stage again. On occasion you'll be tasked with an action, suc…
