At Cloverbite and MoodHouse VR Studio, our vision for *Tammuz Blood and Sand* was clear: create an experience that captivates players while respecting their unique preferences for immersion. That’s why we chose to support both Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) in this game. By doing so, we empower players to decide how they want to engage with the world of Tammuz—whether fully immersed or connected to their real-world environment.
Why Include MR Gameplay?
For *Tammuz Blood and Sand*, Mixed Reality isn’t about changing gameplay mechanics—it’s about giving players the freedom to stay connected to their surroundings. While VR offers full immersion into Tammuz’s mysterious prison dimension and the ancient puzzle box, MR allows players to remain aware of their home environment while still interacting with the same game elements.
In MR mode, the puzzle box and the world of Tammuz are projected into your living room, letting you solve puzzles or witness Tiamat’s sand animations without completely disconnecting from your physical space. This is perfect for players who want an immersive experience while keeping an eye on their surroundings—whether it’s a family member, a pet, or simply the comfort of their home.
Why We Chose Both VR and MR
1. Player Freedom
We know XR players have different needs. Some prefer total isolation in a virtual world, while others enjoy gaming as part of their daily environment. By offering both VR and MR, *Tammuz Blood and Sand* gives players the choice to engage on their terms.
2. Accessibility
MR makes it easier for players who may not feel comfortable or safe being fully immersed in VR for extended periods. Whether you’re navigating the puzzle box or watching the sand effects of Tiamat unfold, you can stay grounded in your physical surroundings.
3. Uninterrupted Gameplay
With MR, players can enjoy *Tammuz Blood and Sand* without sacrificing their connection to reality. This means no need to pause when interacting with others or managing your home space—you can keep playing while staying in touch with your environment.
A Game for Every Player
By embracing both VR and MR, *Tammuz Blood and Sand* ensures that every player can experience the story of Tiamat, Tammuz, and the ancient gods in the way that suits them best. Whether you want to lose yourself in the prison dimension or keep one foot in reality while solving the mysteries of the puzzle box, the choice is yours.
With this dual approach, we’re not just crafting a game—we’re creating a flexible and inclusive XR experience that adapts to the way *you* want to play.
