FPP adventure game developed for VR sets. In Maskmaker we go to a fantastic world and learn how to create masks, with the help of which we move between locations. All this in order to discover the identity of our master and the truth about him.
Maskmaker is an original adventure game, developed for virtual reality sets. The game was created by InnerspaceVR studio, known for A Fisherman's Tale.
Maskmaker takes us on a journey to a fantastic universe, to be precise - to the kingdom of masks, ruled by the mysterious Prospero. The main character of the game is a boy, in whom the ruler saw a great talent and decided to invite him to his workshop to teach him how to create different masks. The protagonist quickly discovers that subsequent creations allow him to move to different biomes, where he can find the resources necessary to create more and more sophisticated masks. By the way, our protagonist acquires more information about the enigmatic Prospero, which gradually brings him closer to discovering the identity of his master and learning the truth about him.
In Maskmaker we observe the action from a first person perspective (FPP). There are eight different biomes to visit, including picturesque villages and paradise beaches, as well as empty, deserted canyons and gloomy swamps. We move to them by putting on masks linked with them on our hero's face. Wandering through these locations, we talk to encountered characters who are a valuable source of information about the world and its ruler Prospero, we solve various environmental puzzles, which allows us to reach new places, and finally we collect resources, thanks to which we'll be able to create another mask. We create them with our own hands; we have to carve their forms with a chisel, mix paints ourselves and apply them to individual mask elements, as well as decorate them with various accessories.
Maskmaker features colourful, stylized graphics that may be liked, especially the varied, detailed locations' designs. The game requires both virtual reality goggles (we look around by moving our head) and dedicated motion controllers (with which we interact with the environment).

Game Ratings for Maskmaker Video Game.
Screen Rant: 2.5 / 5 by Cody Peterson
Maskmaker isn't a bad game by any means, but it is generic and restrictive in what it allows players to do. Making masks and exploring the world can be immensely enjoyable at times, but the game seems intent on stopping the player from interacting with those elements with any regularity. What's here is a strong foundation for future pursuits, but in its current form, Maskmaker feels a little too lackluster to recommend to anyone who isn't a dedicated VR aficionado looking for their next title amongst the genre's somewhat limited options.
GamingTrend: 70 / 100 by Ben Lombardo
Maskmaker feels like it's going to give you full control over the game, then it takes it away from you and does it for you. The parts it gives you full control over, however, tend to be exceptionally tedious. The crafting system is great when the game wants it to be, and I loved exploring every nook and cranny that the game had to off, but in short, while the game feels like a bedtime story, ultimately it's just that --- there's not much lucidity that you'd expect from a VR game, and it feels more like an on-rails experience.
COGconnected: 65 / 100 by Lou Sytsma
If you are patient and OK with playing a slower-paced game, Maskmaker is definitely worth a look.
