About the Project

Bioside is a university VR project developed by 19 NHTV students and was developed within a timeframe of 8 weeks. The main goal was to create innovative movement in virtual reality, while merging elements of the shooter genre. Therefore, the team took inspiration from other VR games like Lone Echo and Robo Recall, to create unique and interesting movement, while still delivering action-packed combat.
