UK-based EdTech gaming studio, Kuato Studios, has raised £4.5m in a round led by Horizons Ventures and is launching ‘Panic Room’ – its first virtual reality title. 

Renowned for creating award-winning apps and education-based games – and for partnering with well-known brands such as Disney and Marvel – Kuato wants to use ‘Panic Room’ to showcase how VR can be used in new and innovative ways. ‘Panic Room', empowered by Kuato’s newly-patented ‘Actor/Director’ platform, is the world’s first cross-platform, socially-interactive virtual reality game, opening the developer up to new platforms and audiences.
