The VR Game Launch Roundup: Dolls, Bows & Cosmonauts

VR Game Roundup

It seems that recently, virtual reality (VR) titles have either been sporadically launching or simply dropping last minute, which has meant this is VRFocus‘ first roundup of upcoming videogames this month. As usual, here are five new VR experiences you may not want to miss.

A Wake Inn

A Wake Inn – VR Bros

First up is horror title A Wake Inn by Polish team VR Bros. Set in the creepy Silver Inn Hotel, you wake to find yourself in the body of a mechanical doll. Unable to walk you have to explore the hotel in a wheelchair, searching the rooms for clues and useful items whilst trying to avoid the very deadly residents – the dolls.

Hyper Dash – Triangle Factory

This frantic, team-based first-person shooter (FPS) offers ten players (5v5) to go head to head across a range of gameplay modes including Payload, Domination, Control Point and Deathmatch. Match parameters can be altered with mutators plus there’s an offline bot-mode if other players aren’t available or you just want to practice.

  • Supported platforms: Oculus Quest
  • Launch date: 25th February
Naau: The Lost Eye

Naau: The Lost Eye – Studio Gamebit

Originally due for release in 2020, Naau: The Lost Eye comes from Turkish indie team Studio Gamebit. Combining action, adventure, and puzzle gameplay mechanics, the Early Access title offers physics-based combat so players can use bows, crossbows, swords and other melee weapons. Or utilise magic when confronted by wizards, monsters and even dangerous flora and fauna.

Yupitergrad – Gamedust

The swinging puzzle title has hit every other headset and now it’s finally PlayStation VR’s turn. Set in a space station orbiting Jupiter, you have to save yourself and the complex by navigating its dangerous structure using a pair of grappling suction cups attached to each hand. Yupitergrad is one of those indie surprises of 2020.

  • Supported platforms: PlayStation VR
  • Launch date: 25th February

Watch: VR Adventure Naau: The Lost Eye Hits Early Access This Month

Naau: The Lost Eye, one of the games we featured at last year’s Upload Summer Showcase, launches in Steam Early Access very soon.

The VR adventure game arrives on February 25th, and there’s a promising new trailer to prove it. In Naau, players explore the titular world, fighting fantastical enemies and solving puzzles.

The trailer above shows an encouraging variety of enemy types and gameplay styles, including tired and true VR bow and arrow combat. There’s also a boomerang (do we detect a hint of Zelda?) and crossbow along with some light platforming and even some Boneworks-style enemy encounters with critters that leap at you and can be grabbed and tossed. Magic will also play a part, allowing players to cast fireballs and more.

As for locomotion, the game will offer both teleport and smooth-based options. All-in-all it looks like there could be a lot to this one, but we haven’t gone hands-on to check it out ourselves just yet.

Developer Gamebit anticipates keeping Naau in Early Access for about two to four months. This release is said to be in a “near-finished” state, with some final polish needed to boss encounters and other elements. The final version will also include more content, though it’s not clear what’s to be added at this point in time.

There’s also no word yet on possible PSVR and Quest releases but, on Steam, Naau will support Index, Rift and Vive. Will you be checking the game out? Let us know in the comments below!

Original Article (September 12th, 2019): Naau: The Lost Eye is a narrative-driven action-adventure game (built exclusively for VR) that puts emphasis not only on using magical powers, but also hand-to-hand combat with a variety of weapons, special abilities, and combat techniques.

On its Steam page, the game is said to support Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index, and Windows VR headsets; Naau is slated to launch sometime of Spring next year (see update).
