News: A popular virtual reality title is on sale for the next few days so be sure to pick it up and save some money in the process.

If you have a virtual reality head and have been waiting to pick up the game “Moss,” now is a great time to do so. It was just revealed that Moss is available for 25% off right now in the PlayStation Store, Steam, Oculus Rift and HTC Viveport.

Moss is the highest MetaCritic-rated PSVR title released in more than a year, is currently nominated for multiple 2018 “VR Game of the Year” awards and comes in top-rated on VRGameCritic.

“We are designing Moss with the fundamentals that we know make a great action-adventure game while at the same time considering every decision with the unique strengths and opportunities VR offers fully in mind,” said Tam Armstrong, co-founder and CEO of Polyarc. “As a studio dedicated to the new medium of VR, our goal is still the dream we’ve always had as game developers—to create engaging worlds and share them with everyone.”

Through fantasy storybook readings and fluid gameplay, Moss brings players into the tale of our unlikely hero Quill—a young mouse from a remote forest settlement who is fated to be the key in a much larger story. As her ally on this journey, players guide Quill while also directly manipulating the field of play as their own character. Mutual communication and shared victories strengthen their connection to one another.

“In Moss, players can reach out, touch, and interact with the environment while guiding Quill through her journey. As a character within the world, players will work together with Quill to solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and conquer any danger that comes their way,” said Danny Bulla, co-founder and design director of Polyarc. “As gamers, we’ve been conditioned for years to hold a gamepad in our laps when playing games, letting our thumbs and fingers do the controlling. It has been a great experience to create an immersive game that encourages players to reach into and interact with a tactile world.”

Moss also brings a high degree of art, sound, and animation polish, thanks to the development team’s previous experience on world-renowned video game franchises. It’s this added element of quality that further brings players into an immersive world of myth and magic.

“Developing a game like Moss has been an inspiring challenge. We have the chance to connect the players to the world and characters in an entirely new and exciting way. For example, Quill can see you and she reacts to your movements as well as the environments you interact with,” said Chris Alderson, co-founder and art director of Polyarc. “Our goal is to let the player’s senses teleport them to a world where the characters and environments truly feel alive.”

This sale is for a limited time only and will end on Monday, October 1. Until then though, Moss is available for $22.49. Will you be picking up Moss while it is on sale? Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
