Played this on my CV1 Rift back in the day. You WILL shit your pants. This and Subnautica are just too goddamn stressful for me in VR.

Playing Subnautica after the first playthrough isn’t nearly as scary, but still so much fun. I’d suggest playing it first on normal flatscreen, and then playing it a 2nd time in VR.

Edit: make sure to grab the vr fix mods off nexus mods if playing in vr. There is one to fix audio and one to fix controls. These are basically mandatory for a good experience.

Nah I’m good, thanks. I don’t enjoy shitting my pants.

I heard from a former CA member the official Isolation VR port was personally scrapped by Ridley Scott because he didn’t want players taken from his personal VR project/game, The Martian. 🙄

Nice idea… Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

Ugh, still not open source. The author of the original mod vanished shortly after announcing they would open source the mod, which basically stalled further development (like this) for years. Downloads are distributed via Discord. Only issue tracking is done via Github.

It probably doesn’t work with Linux either because the original mod overwrote the same dll as dxvk does.

Downloads are distributed via Discord.

Who the heck thought this was a good idea?

Discord is a blight, it’s an affront to human knowledge, and it should die a painful and fiery death.

Seems like a nice game
