About Quanero VR
Quanero is an experimental VR experience for the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift. Your goal is to figure out what caused a violent incident in a futuristic bar by manipulating the time. You can slow down time, reverse it or bring it to a halt. Explore the scene, unlock the story's branch points and unravel the mystery. There's also an explosion. Quanero was created with Unreal Engine 4 and can be downloaded for free.
The possibility of experiencing stories in virtual reality offers completely new challenges to the art of storytelling. The traditional work of directing and the function of the cameraman have to be reconsidered completely, as the player is able to choose his point of view and position.
We have tackled this challenge in our final bachelor project Quanero and even went one step further: in this experience, we also give the player complete control over the time. Thus, it is possible to move forward and backwards in time, to stop it or to view the action in slowmotion from every perspective in the room. We're offering the player a new and extremely immersive experience. The goal of the experience is to find the source of the devastating chain reaction which climaxes in an explosion.
Quanero was developed specifically for HTC Vive. VR technology enables you to feel like you're in this futuristic bar, partaking in a brawl or a drug deal and finding yourself in a spectacular explosion with debris raining down on you.
This project was created by students from the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg's MultiMediaArt and MultiMediaTechnology degree program. The content was created with several 3D applications and textured with the help of substance painter and designer. Body and facial expressions were acted out by professional actors and digitized with a motion capture system.

Игра Quanero VR — это захватывающий VR-квест с уникальной атмосферой. Погружение в гиперреалистичный мир, где игрок исследует подводные лабиринты и решает головоломки, вызывает адреналин. Управление интуитивное, но требует времени для адаптации. Графика и звуковые эффекты на высоте, создавая ощущение присутствия. Однако сюжет не слишком глубок, а некоторые механики могут казаться запутанными. Для любителей VR-приключений — отличный выбор, но новичкам стоит ознакомиться с руководством.
A Cyberpunk detective experience where you observe the environment and use time manipulation to peace together what happened. The graphics is nice looking for VR. It's a very creative gameplay for VR. Big plus, it's free.

This is a decent little ten minutes if you're looking for something free.
Innovative virtual reality with time control! Investigate the explosion in the bar, changing the course of events. It's free and incredibly addictive
"Quanero VR" is an experimental VR tech demo featuring time manipulation and detective work. What do you do in the game? You witness a scene in VR and then you can pause/rewind and look at the scene from different angles to work out what happened, etc etc. The idea didn't catch on. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service…
