'Resolution Games,' the studio most famous for its virtual tabletop game 'Demeo: Roots of Evil' has announced that this game will be available on new devices. Demeo: Roots of Evil, often referred to as just Demeo, is an award-winning Virtual Reality (VR) tabletop role-playing game (RPG). This VR RPG allows users to interact with each other and simulate the feeling of being in person and playing a board game, including the ability to physically roll a dice or move your game pieces.
Resolution Games has announced that it will be releasing a non-VR version of Demeo on PC. This means that tabletop game fans and RPG fans will be able to enjoy the award-winning game without the need for a VR headset. While VR has gained popularity in recent years, it is still far from being an everyday device found in every consumer's home. With Demeo's shift to the regular PC platform, the available consumer base will grow exponentially.
