Developed by Schell Games, I Expect You To Die: Home Sweet Home, a short, mixed-reality mini-mission set in the I Expect You To Die universe, will launch on October 25, 2022, for free on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro.

I Expect You To Die: Home Sweet Home (IEYTD: HSH) takes the spy-themed, escape room fun of the award-winning I Expect You To Die VR franchise and brings it to mixed reality. After being smuggled out of a top-secret medical facility, players become Secret Agents in their own living rooms. Equipped with a brand new ocular implant, Agents must solve puzzles, escape sinister traps, and use the latest spy technology to defeat Dr. Zor’s evil plans.

“When we were concepting this experience, we were all working from home. Then it clicked — what if we had our Secret Agents working from home, too?” said CEO Jesse Schell. “The idea of all the dangerous situations a Secret Agent has to deal with being inside their house seemed really fun and felt like a great match for mixed reality.”

In IEYTD: HSH, players can:

• Transform their homes into an escape room with the power of mixed reality

• Solve this mini-mission in less time than it takes Dr. Zor to craft an evil plan

• Use special x-ray technology to uncover hidden objects inside their walls

• Play worry-free, knowing they can see everything in their space, even with their headset on, using Quest's passthrough feature

The experience utilizes the Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro’s Passthrough technology — which allows developers to create mixed reality experiences that bring real and virtual worlds together.

“Designing an experience for mixed reality is very different from designing for virtual reality because mixed reality offers an experiential immersion as opposed to a purely visual one,” said Ryan Hall, Project Director for IEYTD: HSH. “Keeping the player on their toes by warping their familiar surroundings was a lot of fun to figure out, and Meta’s Passthrough technology allowed us to make it happen easily.”

I Expect You To Die: Home Sweet Home will be available on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro. Visit the website, watch the trailer, or view the press kit for more information.
