About Us – Quantum Universe

Meet Quantum Universe, a VR game development studio nestled in the heart of Seoul, South Korea. With broad experience in cutting-edge XR technologies—spanning VR, AR, and MR—our team has embarked on many thrilling projects over the years. Now, The ChicKing Dead stands as our flagship title, melding fun, movement, and sheer madness into an unforgettable VR journey.

What Sets ‘The ChicKing Dead’ Apart?

Our game thrives on the latest VR sensation: arm-based locomotion. Move, jump, and glide with the swing of an arm in real life. But we didn’t stop there. Players can dash, boost, and chain movements, allowing for a truly frenetic and fluid gameplay experience. Expect nothing less than non-stop excitement from beginning to end.

Zombies vs. Chickens – A Twist on Survival Tag

Each game starts with a group of nine players. One is chosen to be the Alpha Zombie, taking on the task of infecting the others, known as Normal Chickens. As chickens get infected, they join the zombie ranks, hunting down the remaining survivors. The match concludes when all chickens are infected or time runs out. Whether you’re in a dizzying escape or tactically planning infections, every round promises unpredictable fun.

Introducing the LOCOROID System

Our pride and joy, the LocoRoid system, introduces players to loyal robotic companions, each unlocking exclusive movement-based skills. With abilities like targeted dashes or vertical leaps, these companions provide customization and depth to your strategy. Tailor your gameplay by selecting the LocoRoid that best suits your style and dominate the field like never before.

Level Up with Progression, Cosmetics, and Customization

In Early Access, players can level up while earning Coins and Feathers to trade for a range of cosmetics—from whimsical egg hats to full-on costumes. Playing as either a sheepish chicken or a relentless zombie, your gameplay rewards you. Customize your character and express yourself as you duel.
