A Night in the Forum

Game Overview

A Night in The Forum is an Educational Environmental Narrative Game that uses PlayStation®VR to take you back in time to The Roman Forum during Augustan rule. This collaborative effort is part of a European research project – www.revealvr.eu.

We’ve reconstructed The Forum based on the ruins at the actual site and several items preserved at the Imperial Forum Museum in Rome while working hand-in-hand with authorities on the subject for authenticity and accuracy.

You’ll step into the shoes of a guard inside The Roman Forum, to carry out tasks assigned to you by a mysterious voice. As you progress, you’ll learn stories of Augustus and his life and political achievements as well as those about Roman citizens during a time, abounding equally in prosperity and disparity. You’ll get to savour some of the overwhelming complexity that characterised the empire during those times. You’ll immerse yourself in a time of pivotal change in European history, one that bore influence in the West and beyond up till this very day.
