The Trial

Three answers. One bow.

A stationary VR archery roguelite. Hundreds of build combinations. Five eras planned — the first is open in the closed beta.

Stationary. Roomscale-friendly.

Pure archery. You're rooted to the spot — clearance for your arms, nothing more.

Hundreds of build combinations

Explosive, homing, piercing, bouncing. Stack arrow powers, modifiers, and summons after every clear.

Fight through Egypt — then beyond

Begin in the dust of Ancient Egypt. New eras unlock as the trial deepens.
