The VERS immersive exploration center, a flagship venue of The Multiverse Project, has launched its latest immersive experience The Last Stronghold: Carcassonne 1304. This adventure invites participants to journey back to the medieval era, exploring themes of justice, faith, and courage.

Co-produced by French company Excurio and the National Monuments Center, this VR project is making its Asia debut.

During the 45-minute session, participants don VR headsets and are transported to the year 1304, inside the imposing walls of the medieval city of Carcassonne. Guided by the young noble Simon, they revisit the golden era of this UNESCO World Heritage site, immersing themselves in a world where authentic history meets imaginative storytelling.

Throughout the experience, participants can soak in the lively atmosphere of a bustling marketplace, marvel at the stained-glass dome and rose windows of the ancient church, and even take up a shield to defend their home and change the course of destiny.
