Location hidden, Al-Andalus, 1205: A wizard has accidentally created a powerful dark corruption that has spread through their tower rapidly.
Your mission is to go on a dangerous immersive journey to restore the peace in the tower. On your journey, you will find a pair of magical gloves that can disable the gravity on an object, allowing you to bring the object to places that seem impossible.

Spellbound Spire is an immersive VR journey where you, the player, explore a magical tower located in 12th century al-Andalus. The tower is filled with different types of locks and keys that are scattered across the environment.
To unlock the mysteries of the tower and solve its challenges you will need to use your magical gloves. These gloves disable the gravity of objects, enabling you to make them fly anywhere you want. Allowing you to continue exploring the tower.
However, this journey is not without danger. The corruption is spreading through the tower and will corrupt anything in its path. Contact with the corruption will disable your gloves' powers, and any object that it touches will immediately be destroyed.

The non-euclidian portals allow for smooth seemingly-impossible movement from one location to another.
By combining non-euclidian level design and room-scale movement we enable you to walk through the entire game in one continuous path while staying safely within the bounds of your playspace. This creates the feeling that you are exploring a large environment while avoiding the shortcomings of other VR movement solutions. However, this will not impede you from exploring intricate areas, impossible geometry, and the other mysteries found within the tower.

A play area of at least 2m x 2m (6 feet and 7 inches) is required. There’s an option to play within a smaller space of 1.5m x 1.5m, but this is not recommended as it makes for a less stable experience and could cause nausea, which some may experience as unpleasant.

Meta Quest 3S. No information when booted up. I can't seem to walk anywhere, thumbsticks did nothing. Tried to go to room behind me, but I physically walked into the wall. I could see there was a path there, but the feet just don't move anywhere. Doesn't seem like it's for sitting folk, but for people with mall-sized walking spaces. Can't get past the first rectangle room with the bars on window and walkway behind me. I'm just glad the game was free, otherwise, I'd have to find out how to process a refund.1 found this helpful
Cozy experience that is super unique
very cool
A great room scale VR experience. The puzzles are nice, the environments beautiful and the music immersive. If I could have one complaint is that the game has no save system and does not warn you about that in advance. If it would at least do that you would know that you should have around 1h, so you can complete it in one go. But it is a free demo and for that it is more than worthwhile :)
Very cool example of using "impossible spaces" to accomplish true room scale VR where you use only your physical movement to traverse a large world.
Игра 'Spellbound Spire' - это увлекательное сочетание roguelite и карточной стратегии. Поднимаясь по заколдованной башне, вы собираете колоду мощных заклинаний и улучшаете своего волшебника. Бои динамичные и требуют тактического мышления, ведь каждый этаж башни предлагает новые вызовы и противников. Визуальный стиль игры очарователен, с яркими красками и детализированными спрайтами. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично дополняет атмосферу таинственности и опасности. Плюсы: глубокая система построения колоды, разнообразие врагов, высокая реиграбельность, приятная визуальная стилистика. Минусы: иногда чувствуется нехватка контента после нескольких прохождений, сложность может быть немного неровной. В целом, 'Spellbound Spire' - это отличная игра, которая затянет вас на многие часы. Рекомендую всем любителям карточных roguelite игр.
