Verse VR Available NOW
Immerse Yourself in Global Art and Culture Through Virtual Reality
In case you missed it, Lofty Sky Entertainment, the independent film and game studio, has officially released Verse VR, a meditative and interactive journey through poetry, music, and oral traditions from diverse cultures around the globe.
Unveiled during the UploadVR Summer Showcase, Verse VR is now available on Meta Quest (Deluxe Edition), PC VR, and Steam, inviting players to explore lush, hand-crafted environments infused with art, storytelling, and music.
What is Verse VR?
Blending poetry, illustration, spoken word, and original music, Verse VR takes players through eight beautifully designed environments, each inspired by a unique cultural heritage. As you wander through these spaces, you can discover interactive “hotspots” that reveal illustrated poems, songs, and performances.
Whether you’re relaxing by the rivers of Mali, reflecting in a Tang Dynasty Chinese garden, celebrating in a vibrant West African village, or enjoying classical European music in a Victorian conservatory, Verse VR offers a space to slow down and connect with the world’s cultural richness.
A Collaboration with Global Creators
Crafted in partnership with cultural creators—including Batuki Music Society and traditional artists from West Africa, China, and the Middle East—the experience celebrates authentic voices and traditions.
“Verse VR is an immersive journey through poetry, music and oral traditions from cultures around the world,” said Judith Cheung, Creative Director at Lofty Sky.
“Most people never get a chance to hear the songs and stories of my culture,” added Thierno Soumaré of Batuki Music Society. “But for Verse VR, we worked with traditional Malian griots to bring those experiences to life.”
