The Assembly: Telling Stories in Virtual Reality

How far would you go to make a life changing scientific breakthrough? That’s the moral challenge we explore in the third and final instalment of our video series about the making of The Assembly.

In the video below, we take you behind the scenes of our upcoming VR game and reveal how we developed its thought provoking story.

Join Senior Designer Jackie Tetley as we take you through the decisions we took to create the game’s complex characters. We also explain how we crafted a gripping narrative to drive you all the way through the game to one of several surprising conclusions.

Today, we’re also thrilled to announce the game’s cast of voice actors. Our two protagonists, Madeleine Stone and Cal Pearson are played by Camilla Power and Matt Rippy respectively. Christy Meyer plays Cal’s intellectual rival Elizabeth Chevez, who is also overseeing Madeline’s initiation into the Assembly. Joining them as Cal’s close friend and junior associate Anton Ruiz is Will Harrison-Wallace, while Vincent Brimble takes on the role of the Assembly’s elusive Director.

In addition, we’re pleased to confirm that The Assembly will feature fully localised voice acting in French and German.
