and stack hundreds of arrow powers run after run.

Medium description
------------------
Trial of the Ancients is a stationary VR archery roguelite by Virtual Verse Studio (https://virtualverse.studio) — a 20+ person
XR studio shipping since 2021 across enterprise, museum, banking, and education sectors.
Players stand rooted at the centre of the trial, fire arrows at advancing waves of mythic
enemies, and choose three rewards after every clear — arrow powers, modifiers, and summons —
assembling a different build each run. The first era is set in Ancient Egypt; more
civilizations follow.

Features
--------
- Roomscale-friendly stationary archery — pure aiming, no artificial locomotion.
- Roguelite reward draft system: three rewards per clear, hundreds of build combinations.
- Arrow modifier stacking — split + explosive + homing + bouncing — order matters.
- Summonable allies, runes (meta progression), and objective variety per level.
- Era-based world structure beginning with Ancient Egypt, expanding outward.
- Single-player, 5–25 minute runs. Comfortable rating with seated mode support.
