See the screenshot of the Demoo above? The first floor of the game’s Roots of Evil campaign sits on my office photo desk and feels more real than I could have imagined.
I caught this in a Meta Quest Pro (opens in new tab) While playing the game’s new transition feature, which launched on October 25 with the Quest Pro title. It’s available for both the Quest Pro and Quest 2, so if you don’t have $1,500 for a new mixed reality headset this year, never fear, the Quest 2 is here to save your bacon.
If you decide to try it in Quest 2, you’ll have to tinker with the black and white transition video versus the full color transition video of the Quest Pro. It breaks the immersion a bit, but it’s still a great way to play the game.
To activate the new AR mode, go to the game’s settings (small cog/cog on the title screen), go to the Game section, then change Basement to AR. If you have a table or table mapped in the Mission – which is done under Guardian in the Mission system settings – Demeo will automatically move and resize the game board to the table.
This is the latest free update in a long series of free updates for the successful virtual board game like Dungeons & Dragons, players can take the virtual table to any real surface in their home (or anywhere else) and play it like a proper board game on the tabletop. Demeo will automatically scale the board to fit the table and even remove those cute virtual table edges in favor of the gaming world sitting right there on your desk.
Demeo plays largely the same in this mod as it does in other mods. At least, the basics do. Each turn, you will move your characters up to two times and attack using your deck of cards. Enemies will also take a turn, so be sure to create strategies to avoid disaster.
The big difference between the new transition mode and the normal gameplay of Demeo is in the board itself. Unlike normal mode, where you can resize the board at any time and take a close-up with each character or see the desktop from a bird’s eye view, the transition mode’s board is a fixed size. That means you’ll have to stick your real head in there to see the action up close.
Check out this game I saved. Just be aware that there are some weird fisheye effects that are not recorded while playing games. It’s also cropped too closely and looks like I’m almost slamming my head on the table. Don’t worry, this is what the registry transition looks like right now. I’m fine.
Since this is the same virtual board that all players will see, you can enable the toggle at the end of the game and continue playing with your friends far away without any issues. Also, since the transition footage from your Quest’s cameras is private data, they cannot see inside your house.
The only reason you can see the room I’m playing in is because I’ve connected a cable to my computer and run the screen streaming function from within SideQuest. (opens in new tab)A free popular third-party app store full of useful tools for Quest owners – like this one!
Demeo featured in our best Quest 2 games (opens in new tab) It’s been listed since its debut and just keeps getting better. The game already has four major campaigns and more are on the way, all of which are free to download for players. You can even play it on flat screen if VR isn’t doing it for you via the Steam version, although you’ll miss out on a major part of what makes Demeo so fun: the feeling that you really are sitting in a room with a group of friends and playing an epic board game.
