Beta

This game is currently in Beta. This is a work in progress.

Be aware, there will be issues that you will encounter and unfinished content. The PCVR version should be the most stable so I would advise using that if possible. A standalone version, designed around and tested on the Quest 2, is also available for users without access to PCVR.

You are welcome to play and test the game. Feedback would be highly appreciated!

Known Issues

Additional Notes

• Play the newest version provided unless it fails to load correctly. PCVR version advised.
• Play with Arm Swing locomotion option if possible. - If Arm Swing locomotion fails to work, press play and wait for gas to kill you, then click return to lobby, then try again.
• You may need to move closer to the menu for the interaction ray to reach. It has a set distance.

• Standalone performance issues on quest 2. Seems to run at 24fps instead of 72.
• Sometimes there is an audio delay or audio doesn't play (particularly the gun, buttons and Jaseran spawn sound).
• Visible seams between some meshes or aliasing or z-fighting.
• The end of the second corridor halve can be seen unloaded.
• Index controllers may need to be squeezed harder to move.
• Movement speed with index controllers appears to be slower than with quest controllers.

Story

A ruthless alien race called The Jaseran is attacking and destroying your spaceship titled The Starfire Voyager during its journey across deep space. The captain had not realised that your ship’s navigation system had malfunctioned, leading to its course trespassing through their galactic territory.

The ship’s shields were quickly overwhelmed and the ship was damaged, allowing the Jaseran to enter, who promptly attacked the surviving crew.

All the other crewmates have been destroyed leaving just you, a ship serviceman. All that can be done is to evacuate the ship.

You must run through the large hangar bay along the service lines, avoiding gas, broken platforms and the weapons of the Jaseran in order to reach the quick-escape pods on the other end of the ship.

Only then will you be able to contact and reach the safety of a defence carrier.
