"Shared / split-screen" vs. "requires V. R. headset"
Well, pull my pantaloons down and call me "confused" 🥴

The game is for 2 players:
- One plays using a VR headset plugged into a PC
- The other plays on the same PC, using mouse/keyboard or controller, and the normal monitor.

So it is a local multiplayer (which is only called Shared/Split-screen on Steam), not online, and ALSO requires the VR headset.

Hope that helps clear things up!

Yea, well I mean. I dont think theres any closer word to describe this experience. Considering Ive yet to see a word that means "One Player uses a headset and one uses the keyboard on the same computer" or something similar lol.

But im no master of the english language.

This game is great.. my bestie and I played it earlier, and it was a very unique experience.

I do wish that it would be possible to play as the overseer on the PC and experience the challengers version in VR.

A really fun cat & mouse game

Can I play it using a Quest with Virtual Desktop/ALVR and a single PC with only one copy?

On a single PC definitely. We have not yet tried using Virtual desktop but have heard it works!
