Salmi Games

Embark on an adventure to explore a vast and treacherous temple and uncover the ancient legend of the Eye. Keep your balance as you step between moving blocks, dodging hazardous traps and solving environmental puzzles with just your torch and whip in hand.

This game requires a play area of at least 2m x 2m.

TRAVERSE A VAST ENVIRONMENT

Eye of the Temple makes unique use of room-scale VR to deliver an experience of navigating an expansive space. Lose yourself in the depths of the temple without teleportation, artificial locomotion, or other distractions.

USE A FULLY PHYSICALLY SIMULATED WHIP

Wield your whip to grab levers and defend yourself from threats. Before long, you’ll have mastered it as a reliable tool and effective weapon.

AN EXPERIENCE PLAYED WITH YOUR OWN BODY

Step onto blocks, flick levers, and dodge obstacles. You’ll play this physical game not with controller buttons, but your body, and it’s designed to be easily approachable regardless of whether you normally play video games.

UNLOCKABLE SPEEDRUN CHALLENGES

If you’re an extra daring adventurer, you can unlock speedrun challenges where you can build up incredible speed for a true test of your temple-running prowess.

Please note!

You may get a sensation of almost losing your balance when blocks you stand on start or stop moving, and there is a small risk of falling over. This will usually quickly decrease over time. The game also has various VR comfort options.

Speechless. 100% Must play!

I am in awe of this game. Eye of the Temple truly tricked my brain into full immersion. No thumb stick movement here! You must physically walk, duck, crawl, and balance in your play space - but the game brilliantly keeps bringing you back to the center of your space using these same movement mechanics. The puzzles are not too difficult, but just hard enough to make you think, and they felt rewarding when I solved them. You won’t regret picking up this game!! Thank you, Rune Skovbo Johansen, for making this masterpiece. **Note about space - You will definitely need all of the 2m x 2m play space (approx 6.5ft by 6.5ft) to safely play this game. Your sense of balance will be tested, and at times you have to move fast. Even with these restrictions, and needing to move my furniture around to play this game, it was worth EVERY BIT of the effort.

A clever of space makes this excellent

This game is cleverly designed to let you safely roam around an extensive map whilst only using 2 metres squared space! With a combination of sliding blocks and rolling cylinders to step on, the game constantly guides you back to the centre of your space while you explore. The graphics are pretty good, the gameplay is fun and challenging. Just go slow until you orientate yourself to prevent getting off balance. I highly recommend this to adventure/puzzle game lovers.

Wow, real movement is so immersive

I wish more games would do real movement within your 2x2m sq space (I appreciate that not everyone has this space though). I remember being blown away by a demo of God for Tea, which actually uses available space so you can actually walk around for real. Though this only does it with 2x2m sq, it does an incredible job with this limited space (once I fixed a problem with Meta/App? that kept changing my border to stationary). I really fell for the illusion that I was using my own real-world steps to traverse the temple. Also, when you see all the mini-train tracks you get the promise of rides all around the temple, which definitely does not disappoint. It only takes 2-3 hours to complete, but I thought it was well worth it for the experience.

Fatally misstepped

Within minutes playing the game of this EYE OF THE TEMPLE , I fell flat on the floor. Hurt both my knees and my right elbow. Potential to getting injured is high as it is such a good game and the graphic is so real . It’s not advisable to people close to age 60 like myself coz the player must have good balance. I will ask for refund coz I only played it for few minutes with swollen knees and hut elbow. I recommend this game to those young energetic people with good balance. You will absolutely like it like I do.
