Description



RuneSage is an immersive Virtual Reality RPG Adventure game for the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift & Touch. As a sage from humble beginnings, you'll search the land for nature's runes of power, then use them to cast spells to solve puzzles and aid you on your quest. Explore mazes in a forest teaming with wildlife, sail across lakes to reach distant shores, and explore the ruined castle and its dungeons while menacing vultures circle overhead. Find the scrolls of knowledge, discover the lost gemstones - secrets once forgotten, yet waiting to be found...

At the heart of RuneSage are runes and spells.

*Runes echo the forces of nature; wind, water, fire etc and you'll discover their forms as you explore the world.*Spells channel the power of the runes into physical form - for example, draw the shape of a wind rune, then cast it to create a gentle breeze. *The power of runes can also be combined - for example, draw a wind rune followed by a water rune, then cast it to blow water in a powerful jet.
Use your knowledge and wisdom of the natural world to investigate your surroundings, discovering new combinations of runes to solve puzzles to aid you on your quest to find the lost gemstones. Once found, each gemstone unlocks a series of challenges where you can test your magical skills against others with full Steam Leaderboard support for additional replayability.

RuneSage is designed from the ground up for Virtual Reality with full support for both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift & Oculus Touch (note that the Steam Store page will only show support for Oculus after the Touch goes on public sale - RuneSage however is fully compatible now).

*Movement. RuneSage supports a wide range of locomotion styles. For small distances, explore your surroundings in room-scale VR. Over larger distances simply select which style you prefer from the main menu, configure it how you like it, and off you go!
*Teleport. Press the trackpad on the wand controller to activate a magical beam, point it in the direction you want to go, and release to move there in a blink.*Dash Teleport. Press the trackpad on the wand controller to activate a magical beam, point it in the direction you want to go, and release to move there in a straight line. Fully configurable speed / time for the journey.*Trackpad/Touchpad (Headset). Touch the top of the trackpad on the non-wand controller to move in the direction you're facing. Touching left / right strafes, and the bottom of the trackpad moves you backwards. The distance frrom the centre of the trackpad determines the speed. Fully configurable maximum speed. To climb up / over objects, press the trackpad on the wand controller to teleport.*Trackpad/Touchpad (Wand). Touch the top of the trackpad on the non-wand controller to move in the direction the wand is facing. Touching left / right strafes, and the bottom of the trackpad moves you backwards. The distance frrom the centre of the trackpad determines the speed. Fully configurable maximum speed. To climb up / over objects, press the trackpad on the wand controller to teleport.*Trackpad/Touchpad (Non-Wand). Touch the top of the trackpad on the non-wand controller to move in the direction the non-wand controller is facing. Touching left / right strafes, and the bottom of the trackpad moves you backwards. The distance frrom the centre of the trackpad determines the speed. Fully configurable maximum speed. To climb up / over objects, press the trackpad on the wand controller to teleport.*Armswing. Press the trackpad on the non-wand controller to activate then jog on the spot to move in the direction you're facing. The faster you swing your arms, the faster you travel. Fully configurable maximum speed. To climb up / over objects, press the trackpad on the wand controller to teleport.For those playing in a smaller space, or even seated-play, RuneSage supports a number of methods of rotation so you can explore in all directions.
*Free rotate. Press the grip button on either controller to artificially rotate the view in the game world by rotating the controllers. When finished, just release the grip button to continue.*Walkabout. Press the grip button on either controller to "freeze" the gameworld in place - you can then turn around in the real world and continue walking in the same direction in the game world. When finished, just release the grip button to continue.*Roomscale. Disables rotation when pressing the grip button on either controller - turn around in the game world by turning around in the real world!*Rune Shapes. Draw runes with your hands; press the rear trigger button to start drawing, trace the outline of the rune's shape, then release the trigger to finish.*Spell Casting. Cast spells with your hands; after drawing one or more runes, press the rear trigger button to start casting, move the controller away from your body, then release the trigger to finish. For projectile spells, the way you "throw" the spell when casting, determines its speed and direction.*Options Menu. Press the menu button on either controller to toggle the options menu.
