AUSTIN, TEXAS – March 31, 2022 – Cosmonious High, the highly-anticipated VR alien adventure from Owlchemy Labs, is available now on Meta Quest 2 and SteamVR for a suggested retail price of $29.99. To celebrate Cosmonious High’s launch, Owlchemy will kick off a livestream at 1 p.m. Central on Twitch where members of the team will provide developer commentary while showcasing gameplay.

Cosmonious High is an alien adventure where players take the role of a Prismi, a rare alien species that can adapt to any situation, who crash lands into their first day of high school. The school is troubled by mysterious malfunctions and chaos. As a Prismi, players will adapt awesome alien abilities to restore Cosmonious High to its former glory while also taking classes and making friends with their quirky classmates. 

Characters and environments in Cosmonious High are dynamic; players can interact with nearly every object, and their classmates will respond to changes in the world. Characters communicate with the player using a new emoji speech system, and each have unique responses to natural VR gestures like fist bumps, waves, and high-fives. Players are encouraged to find creative ways to interact with the environment and see how the world reacts to their actions.

“As a studio, we really pride ourselves on meeting and exceeding player expectations. We had a lot of fun making sure interactions in the game felt intuitive and real, and we ended up with a world filled with characters who felt alive with their own personalities and agendas,” said Chelsea Howe, Product Director at Owlchemy Labs. 

Owlchemy believes that VR is for everyone. They apply this philosophy in Cosmonious High to ensure as many people as possible can play, without sacrificing gameplay. This includes a mindful color palette, height-adjustable stations, dynamic subtitles, and more. Similar to Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator, Cosmonious High is made for everyone and is Owlchemy’s most complex game to-date.

“Cosmonious High pushes the boundaries of what players come to expect from a VR game. From the responsive VR gestures, character interactions, reactive environments and engaging narrative, we built our largest and most intuitive game yet. We cannot wait to see what chaos players can create at Cosmonious High,” said Devin Reimer, CEO (Chief Executive Owl) of Owlchemy Labs.
