About the Project

Step into a world where history meets rhythm in Rhythm Warriors: Time Warp, an exhilarating VR game compatible with Meta Quest 2. This innovative gaming experience transports players to a village cursed with a mystical time rift, where they become the heroes tasked with closing the rift and restoring the timeline.

At its core, Rhythm Warriors: Time Warp is not just a game; it's a captivating journey through historical eras, seamlessly blending education with entertainment. Players embark on a rhythmic adventure, defeating enemies in sync with a dynamic soundtrack, collecting artifact pieces, and actively participating in the restoration of the village. The game's immersive design allows users to explore diverse historical settings, interacting meaningfully with NPCs for a truly engaging experience.

What sets Rhythm Warriors: Time Warp apart is its revolutionary approach to learning. It caters to students, history enthusiasts, and a wide audience seeking an interactive education, turning history into an enjoyable and memorable experience. The rhythm-based combat, combined with the rich narrative, ensures that players not only absorb historical knowledge but also have a blast doing so. Embark on this extraordinary journey, where every tap of the drum propels you deeper into the rhythm of time.
