A young engineer named Chiaro gives life to a steam powered robot called Boka, and together they embark on a quest for the fabled Fountain of Elixir, in order to restore the lost race of alive machines to the world.

Chiaro and the Elixir of Life is a first-person virtual reality adventure game. Step into the role of Chiaro (voiced by Taylor Gray, Star Wars Rebels), a young engineer returning home to the forest of Neverain to build a machine called Boka and bring him to life with Elixir, a powerful ancient fuel. Together Boka and Chiaro form an unbreakable bond and embark on an epic adventure to find the lost Fountain of Elixir.GAMEPLAY FEATURES Exciting, Character-rich Adventure – Players build unique relationships with a cast of enchanting AI characters: Boka, your steam-powered, penguin mentor; Scoria, an alive machine from the past; Ellary, iron-willed proprietor of the Neverain Tool Co; and the Peanut Butter Pig, a forlorn swine who wanders the land in search of peanut butter. Enchanted Tools – Obtain the Janus Knife, an ancient blade: with one hand throw its gem, then cut portals open or explode incendiary bombs. Solve puzzles with the Salamander's Breath, a flaming lantern that can bring Elixir to its boiling point. Find Chiaro's Rowboat to row your way to Blue Crab Lake, a peaceful place devoted to the memory of the Alchemists of Neverain. And for the first time ever in VR, play a game of catch with Boka, who will respond with real-time acrobatics and snag even the most hard-to-nab grabs. A Beautiful Fantasy World – explore the world of Neverain, a whimsical land of natural wonder and mystery. Experience the full power of virtual reality in a stunningly immersive, epic 3D fantasy painstakingly crafted by a new generation of artists using Unreal Engine technology. A Sweeping Orchestral Soundtrack – No adventure would be complete without an emotional cinematic score, carefully created sonic design, and musical elements that bring you closer to the characters of Neverain.
