I thought this was a VR game

If it is, why it only plays in desktop mode?

Hi Patrick,
This demo is the flat mode version. We just wanted to get as many people as possible to play the demo during the Steam Next Fest.

Notice: This title runs in both standard and VR modes. It does not require a VR headset.

Why not make that clearer on the Store page, then? I may have missed it somewhere there. In any case, not a great first experience.

That's a good point. I will get that updated this morning. Thanks for pointing it out.

Same here. Felt i have wasted my time. Why tag the demo as vr, if it isnt? Yes, i have read the post above.

I was pretty confused how come the game wasn't showing up in VR after launching. Will wait for the VR version after having given the flat version a try, as it does definitely seem to have most of its charm in VR :)

IKR I thought my VR headset wasn't working at first, but I find out it's just the program. I think it would play better in VR than flat mode. The controls kinda suck, but I would expect them to be better with VR controls.

I filtered Steam Next games to VR and this was listed, so I assumed it was a VR demo. Was confused when it didn't launch properly. Looking forward to a VR demo in the future.

For the VR version (upcoming VR version of demo or final game), can you please add support for WMR - such as HP Reverb G2. Thanks

Thanks everyone for reporting this issue, we could have done better at communicating that the Nextfest demo has no VR support. There are currently no options in the Steam backend to communicate that the game *will* eventually have VR support, but the Nextfest demo doesn't, so we ended up with a somewhat half way house situation, again apologies.

On that note, we are investigating the possibility of taking part into any VR Nextfest events that might happen so stay tuned.

And @Prawnpaws, yes for the final release we're aiming to offer as wide support for headsets as possible on Desktop VR

Any news on this demo? Inquiring VR enthusiasts want to know.

Still no updates on the VR demo unfortunately, really sorry about that :/

There's a new flat demo though available for the next 5 days with new content!

Hope you enjoy that if you get a chance to try it!
