The Third Pill is a psycho-spatial VR puzzle game currently under development at NUMENA. You’re the key to unraveling an ungodly mystery on an enigmatic island where realities dissolve into a dream labyrinth. Featuring a novel gameplay and a series of “dark levels” where all interactions take place in complete darkness, this is our most daring and original project yet. Planning to launch on Quest headsets at the end of 2025.
We are not going to give this one up just yet. However, we always welcome test players. If interested, join our Discord channel and ask us to add you to the current release channel.
Have you ever noticed how the images created by your mind while reading a novel or playing a text-based game like Zork can feel more vivid and immersive than even the most realistic CGI? We did, and it lead us to the creation of our “dark levels. To learn more, listen to this presentation.
Alright, we may have coined the term “psycho-spatial.” We use it to describe storylines and gameplay that create profound psychological effects, which depend heavily on spatial interactions and the overall spatial nature of the experience. (In other words, this game would lose its impact if adapted for a flat screen.)
