White Lotus Interactive, the developers behind the successfully Kickstarted Xing: The Land Beyond adventure game for the Oculus Rift, have released reactions filmed at their booth at GDC this year.

It’s almost 12 months since the trio of developers that make up White Lotus Interactive celebrated doubling their Kickstarter goal for their adventure game Xing: The Land Beyond, developed with the Oculus Rift very much in mind. The game is described by the team as a first-person puzzle adventure, and if that description brings to mind genre classics such as Myst, you’re on the right track.

The team had 2 sets of demos available for peoples to play, 4 interactive chapters from the game’s Rain Forest area and an ‘Oculus Mine Cart’ demo. The latter of which caused a minor stir on the VR scene when the team released a video teaser a few weeks ago.

Those that tried the demo, seemingly a mix of Oculus Rift newbies and veterans, were clearly impressed by what they saw. Ben Lang also got a chance and should have some thoughts on what he saw up soon. In the mean time, enjoy the reactions (top) and then watch the Mine Cart ride for yourself (bottom). We hope to have an interview with the team shortly too so watch this space.

Find out more about the team and the game over at their website.

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.

    Wow, definitely impressive visually. I love how VR allows just being in a place to be a special experience. Are there any videos of the interactive portions of the game?
