Featuring 12 orchestral works by film composer Ozie Cargile, the virtual reality game takes users on a journey where the orchestral works are expressed in interactive episodes. The various aspects of the music hold clues to solving puzzles in the animated world of the characters.
In the first episode, MiMs characters, Charles and Ozie, situated at a far distance apart, miraculously meet through social media. Overcoming paralyzing self-doubt about the “too good to be true” nature of their immediate connection (undoubtedly the first manifestation of their enemy, the Resistance), they eventually explore their Cosmic Union, demonstrated and symbolized by the symphonic work “Creation of the Universe” by Ozie Cargile. Upon their Union, the MiMs combine their intelligence and unlock the mystery of the Laws of Consciousness, the metaphysical worldview that facilitates their transformation into the full power of Majestic Increaser of My Strength.
Having sworn devotion to one another toward the full manifestation of their powers, the MiMs embark on their most epic adventure yet: a perilous voyage to the City of Angels, a futuristic utopia just beyond the “Dark Mountains,” a secret stronghold of the Resistance. To make the journey, they must traverse “The Perilous Path”, a 2000-mile cross-country road trip shrouded in dark magicks represented in the work “Plot of the Bots” by Ozie Cargile. The episode culminates in the Dark Mountains where the MiMs and the Resistance come face-to-face for the first time. The MiMs win the battle, but the Resistance vows to win the war.
The complete story line will be revealed during game play when the virtual reality experience is released for Oculus Rift and Quest.

The soundtrack features 12 orchestral works by Ozie Cargile, including “Land of the Free”, an epic homage to the Spirit of the American Revolution, which will play during the final battle.
“The Majestic Increaser of My Strength” will deliver a high-quality virtual reality experience that is sure to appeal to a wide range of audiences, from those interested in consciousness and metaphysics, to those who would like to see more African American and same-gender-loving superheroes, as they are under-represented in the current market. And of course, it’s a must-have for the lovers of orchestral theme music similar to that which would be featured in the most successful video games.
On the technological front, it is also a wonderful opportunity to explore the parameters of orchestral music as a means of developing extraordinary worlds on the virtual reality platform. We will use the Adobe Suite, Blender (which includes both 2D and 3D animation features), and the Unity Game Engine to create the experience. This will be integrated with Cargile’s C++ music parameterization algorithms for audio and MIDI.
While it will begin as an animated virtual reality experience for PC, Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest, it will ultimately manifest as a relatable narrative that socially conscious audiences will invest in on a personal level. Whether it’s merchandising, a video game, an animated series, or a feature film, “The Majestic Increaser of My Strength” franchise is sure to evolve into a Cosmic Universe all its own.
So, join the MiMs.
