Altered Algorithm is an action-thriller VR experience blending the craft of film and games in a new way. In this story-driven game set in a futuristic 1983 LA, your playground will be detective work, head-to-head combat, and the ability to DYNAMICALLY interact with full motion video characters.
Altered Algorithm
SteamAltered Algorithm: Episode 1 is a free VR experience introducing you back to a time of gaming simplicity and the excitement of unique experiences. This project has been in development for only 6 months by a small team of developers (including me, Nick DePalo), a community of amazing artists, and a group of filmmaking partners. We hope to build on this foundational endeavor of episodic adventures with your support. Our goal is to introduce new, interesting, and unique experiences to the world.


Welcome to an alternate LA, set in a futuristic 1983. You're either a militant or mercenary. Jeremiah, our main protagonist lives in an alternate past where technology has already flourished for decades causing ALL risk to be mitigated. He's a hired "Field Adjuster" who's job is to hunt down any threats to make the world "SAFE" through the use of the most advanced AI Predictive software and Threat Analytics ever created with a new government program called... CASSI. CASSI, a "Centralized AI Safety Surveillance Infrastructure" is designed to serve, mitigate, and protect everyone and everything. When the A.I. Threat Algorithm Jeremiah relies on is infiltrated by Kenji Kimora, an infamous underground gang leader, an altered simulation unfolds, and it causes a system city lockdown beyond repair.

These events lead Jeremiah to embark on a journey within the simulation to explore the deep city slums of gangs, freewill, and the chaos of choice to discover the altered algorithm of who he truly is and needs to become. There, Jeremiah is presented with the greatest risk ever encountered.... himself.




Players assume the first-person perspective of a fully playable character in VR known as Jeremiah, who can interact within a world of FMV (Full Motion Video) characters and elements by solving environmental puzzles and options for ranged combat, which reveals your story's journey.
