Welcome to the Benin Bronze Experience!

We are excited to share with the world the first looks of our new experience.  We wanted to combine learning, history &  culture, using VR to power the experiences to life.

As we go into the next stages of production the team is excited to really move from Alpha to Beta! 

The first gameplay loop is in & the current gameplay is as follows - 

1. The mentor hands you a finished wax figure of the head of the Oba. 
2. You cover the head in clay ready for firing. 
3. Grab some ingots and place them in the crucible. 
4. Grab the tongs and move the crucible to the fire pit area to melt the bronze. 
5. Pour the melted bronze into the clay mould. 
6. Grab a hammer and smash up the clay. 
7. a chance to pick up and inspect the brand new casted head of the Oba. 

End of experience.
