Digital Lode is startup immersive media company based in Melbourne Australia.

We live and breathe immersive technology. We are VR evangelists and have banded together over our shared love of Stealth games like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell. We are a core team of 8, 3 of which work remote.

Our original IP is Espire 1: VR Operative; a made-for-VR Stealth title with a focus on player volition. We strive to offer players full freedom of movement within the VR world, without motion sickness. Espire is being published by Tripwire Interactive and is coming to VR systems in 2019.

Aside from our development efforts on Espire, LODE also does contract work in immersive media, primarily interactive VR and AR applications B2B.
