"This is not a game, 'Crowe' is a cinematic interactive experience that combines puzzle solving, character interaction and combat with an epic ending built in a virtual reality world," said Pete Blumel, Co-Founder, CEO and Creative Director, The Rogue Initiative.

The interactive experience follows a starry-eyed tribal boy who becomes the key to saving his village from alien conquistadors when he inadvertently discovers long forgotten technology hidden and abandoned by his ancestors a 1000 years ago and will learn of his true significance along the way.

"At Rogue Initiative, we focus on world building, along with character driven storytelling. I think with 'Crowe,' we built out a beautiful world experience for our consumer which makes it perfect for our premiere release," said Cathy Twigg, Co-Founder, Chief Content & Production Officer, The Rogue Initiative.

During the first experience, 'The Drowned Armory,' players will interact with an A.I. Techno-Fairy named AMI (ay-mee), to fight off alien drones with a shield and plasma energy bow, and use head tracking and parallax to solve puzzles in order to activate an ancient robot mech to defeat the giant dragon that dwells at the bottom of a flooded, derelict temple... The Drowned Armory.
