Job Simulator creator Owlchemy Labs unveiled its next project, Cosmonious High, last September, showcasing a colourful and interactive experience. Today, the studio has released the first official gameplay trailer alongside the news that Cosmonious High will arrive for Meta Quest 2 and PC VR headsets at the end of the month.
Cosmonious High is going to be a vibrant, quirky world set within an intergalactic high school. As the new kid on their first day, you get to make friends, meet your teachers and discover you’ve got a range of useful powers that can aid your studies as well as help a school plagued by mysterious malfunctions.
Talking to the friendly characters is as easy as waving your hand. Owlchemy Labs say these “dynamic characters” respond to natural gestures so you can high five, fist bump, and converse with all of them. That interactivity extends throughout the entire school, whether you want to get creative in art class or experimental in chemistry, Cosmonious High will be a very hands-on experience.
Owlchemy Labs has also been mindful to make Cosmonious High as accessible as possible. Features include a mindful colour palette, single-handed playing, dynamic subtitles, seated play and more.
“With Owlchemy’s signature VR gestures, character interactions, and reactive environments, Cosmonious High pushes the boundaries of what you’ve come to expect from VR games. We put so much into making the world feel intuitive, responsive, and most importantly, satisfying,” said Devin Reimer, CEO (Chief Executive Owl) of Owlchemy Labs in a statement. “We’ve also made accessibility a core pillar of our studio’s development pipeline, ensuring anyone can experience Cosmonious High. We cannot wait for everyone to jump in and see what chaos they can create.”
