Hold a controller in each hand — left blade is cyan, right magenta.
Squeeze the GRIP to ignite your blades: slash the robots, strike the glowing
weak points and deflect green lasers. Pull BOTH TRIGGERS to unleash Overdrive.
Duck and lean with your real body to dodge.
Hand tracking (Vision Pro): make a FIST to ignite — open to sheathe — raise
both fists for Overdrive — show your palm for 1.2s to pause.
TECHNICAL ALPHA
PHOTONKATANA IS NOT FINAL
You are entering a technical alpha build. Core gameplay is playable, but content, tuning, visuals and performance are still actively changing.
Some 3D models are temporary placeholder assets for the alpha / beta phase.
Final models, polish, balancing, effects and UI details will be redesigned and updated over time.
Nothing shown here should be treated as final release quality.
Thanks for testing early and helping shape the final game.
