Welcome to Oranova Night Market VR, a vibrant, otherworldly experience set in the pulsating heart of Breccia, on the volcanic planet Basalt. In the sci-fi fantasy universe of Oranova, two sister planets – Basalt and Krystallyn – move into rare alignment during a celestial event known as the Oranova. As their rings and moons begin to vibrate in sync, barriers between worlds fade and voices travel freely across the stars. A mind-bending blend of graphic storytelling, immersive VR, and speculative worldbuilding, consisting of many different forms and interconnected stories in graphic novels, motion graphics, podcast, AR stories and now a VR chapter
