ROTU VR ECHOBOX PAX PROMO

Join ROTU and EchoBox at PAX East 2018 Booth 24098!
Boston, MA - VR content company, ROTU Entertainment, has announced another collaboration with audio company Echobox at the 2018 Pax East in Boston, MA. Coupled with Echobox’s new high-fidelity audio Nomad earphones, ROTU looks to showcase enhanced audio fidelity through its latest VR demo, “Rhythm of the Universe”. According to ROTU Entertainment’s CEO Jason Parks, “Players will use audio technology to engage with musical symbols, instruments, and theory as these elements transform into characters, creatures, and ecosystems within a captivating and immersive other-worldly environment.”
ROTU’s PAX East demo is an example of episodic adventure/action/puzzle virtual reality games, which will have an initial release on the Steam Store and other major digital distribution platforms for VR in Spring 2019. The concept, five years in the making, comes from a combination of three unique factors: music, mythology, and history. The Rhythm of the Universe overarching main story takes place on the supercontinent of Pangaea with 13-year-old protagonist, Lyra Lute and dozens of quintessential characters whose actions pave way to an exciting new universe.
“We focus on creating cinematic quality environments and educational game mechanics built from the ground up for VR” Parks said. “VR has never lacked violent games, ROTU demonstrates that VR can include wholesome story driven content that both entertains and educates the user. For example, imagine controlling time and space the same way you conduct an orchestra. An entire universe musically inspired!” Outlets including PAX East, Discover Financial Services, and Boston VR have reviewed the ROTU vision. In addition, educational institutions like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Berklee College of Music offered high praises for ROTU’s unique approach to VR!
ROTU Entertainment will be launching an Indiegogo crowdfund campaign in Spring 2018 that will support the accelerated development. Backers and fans will have an opportunity to be part of the initial release, obtain exclusive custom in game items, beta testing, and much more. “We believe games should be built with a community. Listening and learning what our consumers would like from us is an integral part of our design strategy,” said Parks.
