New virtual reality game immerses players in 'stunning but forgotten land'

Coventry Editorial 18th Jun, 2017   0

A TECHNOLOGY company has soared to new heights following the launch of its virtual reality game.

e-Learning Studios, a learning technology provider in Coventry city centre, has launched the game Soar: Tree of Life with All 4 Games.

The Coventry-based company offers a range of solutions to a number of blue-chip and public sector clients through the use of games-based learning, mobile, e-learning and virtual reality (VR).

The game is an exploration-based adventure game designed to restore colour in a ‘stunning but forgotten land’.




Through using tilting or tapping controls, players unite the birds and colours to revitalise the island.

The game’s seven levels also include a composition of varied music, aimed to calm players.


According to the company, the game has a number of health benefits – as it is intended to improve focus, reduce anxiety and lower blood pressure and heart rate.

Soar: Tree of Life is available in 3D on iOS and Google Play stores and will be launched on the Oculus Gear-VR store later this month.

The VR launch will allow players to immerse themselves in the game and escape into the ‘calm and relaxing world’ of Soar.

Nitin Thakrar, managing director at e-Learning Studios said: “We have designed and developed several relaxation games but the feedback that we’ve had from users has positioned Soar head and shoulders above the rest.

“People were wowed not only by its beauty, tranquillity and its ease of play, but by its ability to relax the mind and body leaving you with a sense of calm and wellbeing.

“We are truly delighted with the features of Soar as we see it as the essential experience for those who are looking to relax, unwind and distress.”

Colin Macdonald, head of All 4 Games, added: “Soar is the first game we have published that is also playable in virtual reality and it’s great to have been part of its development.

“We always welcome a play of the game during a hectic day at the office to help the team to relax.”
