🧙Witchblood on Quest 3 is a VR and MR game with a passthrough mode, maintaining the same gameplay as the original but not optimized for the new headset.

Since we just launched our company’s Discord, here’s a little Trivia on what this is about.
Discord was originally created by Jason Citron and Stan Vishnevskiy as a voice communication tool for gamers, aiming to replace older, more cumbersome solutions like TeamSpeak and Skype.
Launched in May 2015, Discord rapidly gained popularity among gamers. By 2021, it had over 350 million registered users and over 150 million monthly active users.
Discord is available on various platforms, including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and web browsers, allowing gamers to stay connected regardless of their device.
The term “Discord” has become synonymous with online communication among gamers, and its influence has extended into popular culture, with many gaming-related memes and references originating from or popularized on the platform.
