Press release 7.5.2018<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The launch event for Cave Digger will take place on 9 May at VR_Heaven, Oulu’s first VR arcade. The game will be released just after midnight on 10 May.<\/p>\n

The game is set in a small Wild West village saloon in an alternate universe. In the background, a newsreader plays the game over the radio as the player, the main character, begins their journey from the mysterious saloon. They grab their pickaxe and takes the lift down to the mine shaft. By digging minerals and other treasures from the walls of the pit, the miner can collect money and use it to upgrade tools. Beneath the layers of stone, there are many secrets for the player to discover and experience.<\/p>\n

We are very excited about the release of our first game and we strongly believe that this is just the start of something big. Cave Digger has already received a lot of good feedback. We can’t wait to see what happens next!” says Beg\u00fcm Do\u011fan<\/strong>, Marketing Manager at VRKiwi.<\/p>\n

Jani Huhtamella<\/strong>, CEO of VR_Heaven<\/a> also says about the event, “It’s great to be involved in making Finnish and Oulu gaming history together with VRKiwi. Events like this show that Oulu has the know-how to share with others. Oulu now also demonstrably has the know-how that makes it possible to use virtual reality in a variety of ways. This opens up a whole new market for the city. Call Oulu and order VR softwares, simple.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The game is designed to fit both living rooms and VR gaming rooms. The game rounds are short, so it’s easy to change players in between and enjoy the game with friends. Gear yourself and experience the depths of the abyss!<\/p>\n
