About the game

Genotype is a Metroidvania FPS adventure in VR by Bolverk Games. Players explore an abandoned research lab in Antarctica overrun by monstrous beasts, print living creatures to use as weapons and tools, and morph into a tiny creature to slip through vents. It is out on PC VR.

Bolverk Games trusted our expertise for the VFX work on Genotype. Since it’s a VR game, we paid special attention to optimization, making sure every effect looks great while keeping the smooth, stable framerate that VR requires.
