When there is nowhere to hide, the only way out is through …
HALL is an arcade-inspired virtual reality driving action game. Players take on the role of Mina, a dishonest messenger at the center of a massive chase across the city. Beginning in the heart of Presidium, the neon-soaked moon capital of mining colony N-351, the only way to escape from Mina is the “Public Road”, a huge high-speed expressway that meanders through the entire complex of the Cologne. Pursued by the forces of the Caldara Corporation, Mina must race across 7 sectors while battling relentless waves of autonomous corporate combat drones.
Using only his intelligence, his cybernetics and a unique set of special skills, the player will become the runner in this kinetic and accelerated virtual reality experience.
