demo faq
what can you do in the biskaabiiyaang demo?
The demo introduces to you to the virtual world of Biskaabiiyaang through an orientation campsite area and trail. Get to grips with traversing terrain, discover and interact with objects hidden throughout the environment, and learn Anishinaabemowin (the Ojibway language) along the way. Explore post-apocalyptic ruins and learn how Indigenous history and culture plays a part in returning magic and beauty to this virtual world.
how do you move around?
There are navigational instructions provided before the game starts, but should you need a refresher, the WASD keys on your keyboard determine the direction your avatar walks, your mouse lets you look around and control the camera. To progress through the menus and story, you will be prompted to use your space bar. Press ‘E’ on your keyboard to interact with objects when prompted.
does the biskaabiiyaang demo connect to the internet?
While Biskaabiiyaang: The Indigenous Metaverse will be an online, multi-user virtual world, the demo is self-contained on your computer and does not require an internet connection to run.
