Chariot is the story of a princess whose task is to lay her father’s remains in his final resting place. With the help of her fiancé, she has to take this heavy chariot holding the king’s remains through underground mazes in order to reach a sepulcher fit for His Majesty.

However, the king’s ghost, bound to the chariot, has quite a temper and insists that he be buried with vast amounts of riches. Exploring and collecting loot in the caves therefore becomes an essential part of the game. As players progress, tunneling deeper and deeper underground, they’ll often stray off the main path and need to come up with inventive ways to get their hands on hard-to-reach loot and collectibles.

Frima Studio and Philips are integrating the Phillips Hue connected lighting with Chariot, bringing immersive home entertainment to a whole new level by making Phillips Hue lighting interact in real time with the gameplay of the game.

Philips Hue is a connected lighting system for the home, transforming how light is used in and around the home to enhance a space, heighten a mood or simply ease day to day life. Including bulbs, luminaires, strips and controls, the Philips Hue ecosystem works seamlessly so that you can control the lights in each room, a group of rooms or the full house when at home via the Hue app or when away.

“Chariot has been a great title in our ID@Xbox portfolio since it launched into Games With Gold last year. We’re thrilled that Frima is pushing the boundaries with this new technology from Philips Hue and are really excited to see it come to Xbox.” Said Chris Charla, Director ID@Xbox at Microsoft.

“With its stunning art and mesmerizing environments, Chariot is a perfect fit to demonstrate the full potential of Philips Hue for games and Frima is the ideal partner to help us showcase a technological world premiere,” said Wout Verhagen, Director Strategic Alliances & Partnerships at Philips.

“As a leading digital entertainment company in Canada, Frima innovates yet again bringing the video game experience to a whole new level of immersion,” said Steve Couture, Frima’s CEO. “We are very proud to be the first in the world to integrate Philips Hue lighting with a videogame and are excited to offer this unique experience to fans of Chariot.”

Chariot is available on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and Steam for $14.99.
