It's a follow-up to Manifold Garden and builds on a lot of the same ideas (portals, impossible spaces, etc)
Launching in 2025 for #PSVR2 and #MetaQuest3

One of the best VR experience I've played recently! Not only does the roomscale works really well, it's also does a fantastic job in the liminal aesthetic.
Hotel Infinity launches today on Meta Quest & PS VR2!
It's a roomscale VR experience built around natural locomotion. Every step you take in real life moves you through the game
