Exciting news! Our VR game, The ChicKing Dead, has officially made its debut in Early Access on the Meta Oculus Store. Based in South Korea, our team at Quantum Universe has funneled years of XR expertise into crafting this Free-to-Play VR multiplayer experience. It combines the unique aspect of arm-based movement with the thrill of tag-based escapades.
Who We Are – Meet Q Games
We are Quantum Universe, a dynamic VR game development studio rooted in Seoul, South Korea. Our team is equipped with a wealth of experience across XR technologies, spanning VR, AR, and MR, from various past projects. The ChicKing Dead is our flagship title and is crafted to deliver unparalleled fun, movement, and excitement—melding them into a VR experience you won’t forget.
What Makes The ChicKing Dead Stand Out?
Our game captures the latest VR buzz—arm-based locomotion—allowing players to swing their arms in real life to move, jump, and even fly. But we’ve added a twist! With our ability to dash, boost, and chain movements, you gain the upper hand on the battlefield in a truly chaotic style. The gameplay we offer is fast-paced and seamless, keeping players on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
Zombies vs. Chickens – A Mix of Tag and Survival
In every match, you’ll find nine players, one of whom is randomly chosen to be the Alpha Zombie. Their job? Infect the others—known as the Normal Chickens. Once infected, those chickens switch sides and join the zombie ranks to hunt down the remaining survivors. The game ends when all chickens are infected, or the clock runs out. Whether you’re eluding the zombies or strategically infecting others, each match offers unpredictable enjoyment.
LOCOROID System – Where Mobility Meets Strategy
Introducing our pride and joy: the LocoRoid system. These robotic companions unleash powerful movement-based skills. Each LocoRoid boasts unique abilities, like targeted dashes or vertical launches, adding customization and a layer of strategic depth to each round. Pick the LocoRoid that matches your playstyle and seize the game your way.
Progression, Cosmetics & Customization Magic
During Early Access, players can level up and collect Coins and Feathers, which are tradeable for all sorts of cosmetics—from amusing egg hats to elaborate costumes. Whether you’re fighting as a survivor or a zombie, every game rewards you with loot. It’s all about playing it your way—and having swagger while doing so.
Celebrate with Our Early Access Events!
We’re marking our Early Access launch with an array of special in-game events! From login challenges to holiday-themed cosmetics, including limited-time goodies, players can snag exclusive items just by diving into the chaos. You can stay updated on all event details by joining our official Discord server. Come join the pandemonium!
Exciting Updates & Our Vision Forward
Looking ahead, we’re just warming up. Post-Early Access, we’re eager to utilize feedback from the community to fine-tune and broaden the game. Plans are in motion to roll out leaderboards, seasonal events, and competitive league play as we continue to develop. Our ambition? To establish not only a game but a thriving, player-focused community.
As our VR debut, The ChicKing Dead encapsulates our dedication to immersive fun, fearless experimentation, and groundbreaking innovation in virtual reality. We’re eagerly waiting for players to dive into the wild, wacky world of being a chicken in a zombie apocalypse.
So, what are you waiting for? Check out The ChicKing Dead today on the Meta Oculus Store!
