What began in 2019 as a small experimental VR project has evolved into a bigger beast, we are expanding the IP, With Primal Reign: The Age of New Kings entering early access, we have a free playable demo as well as an extended playthough as a thank you should you wish to supports us through early access. This is exactly why we wanted to re-visit Primal Reign and bring it inline with the new story and give the original tomb a make over with new art, new enemies and lots of new weapons.
Set deep inside an ancient Egyptian mummification tomb, the battle converges around a single Explorer.
You are Harriet; a British Archaeologist who has found herself separated from her partner Ron — alone, outnumbered, and surrounded.
For ten ferocious waves, prehistoric beasts and reanimated mummies pour in from every direction. There is no cover you can rely on. No safe angle. No mercy. Only instinct, movement, and firepower.
10 escalating waves of relentless enemies
Prehistoric creatures and ancient Egyptian mummies attacking from all sides
A tightly designed single-arena tomb, built for spatial awareness and constant threat
Limited health with unlimited ammunition — survival is about positioning, not hoarding
Enemies can (and will) approach from any direction — including behind you
This rebuild focuses on what VR does best:
Physical presence
Spatial pressure
Immediate feedback
Every weapon, enemy, and movement decision is designed to keep you engaged during intense combat, this is for VR veterans.
Multiple firearms suited to frantic close-quarters combat
Bazooka and explosive barrels for crowd control

Sharper focus on fun first gameplay
Rather than abandon it, we rebuilt it — and released the updated version free as a thank-you to the VR community that supported us early on.
