Background Story

ICARACE develops a story of corporate sponsored pilots in a futuristic race league, where pilots compete on aerial courses for credits and fame. Players create their own online profile, customize their characters, and compete to set records on multiple courses. Unlike traditional video games, ICARACE simultaneously provides a virtual gaming experience and a demanding, physical workout. Not only is the experience one which promotes fitness, it is a sport that demands the development of mental and physical aptitude.
