String Theory is a Virtual Reality yo-yo combat game, where the player takes on the role of a child playing pretend in a secret underground city. The player uses their yo-yo to fend off enemies, explore levels, and solve puzzles all while looking for the ultimate treasure that is rumored to be hiding there.

To get a better feel for the gameplay, here is a short trailer:
