Today is a good day if you just happen to like virtual reality and horror games, because 3D Generation just informed us that they have launched their VR horror game “Cosmic Awakening VR” (the game is only playable via Windows, at least for now) via Steam:

“Hello,

We are a small Indie team that is releasing our first Steam game on August 25th. We wanted to reach out to you to see if you would be interested in announcing our game and/or reviewing it. It is VR and best experienced room-scale with Vive and Vive controllers. It also works with Oculus, Touch controllers, and 3 stands. If you want to do an announcement, we would really appreciate it!” – 3D Generation

This picture made me think about the space horrors that I experienced in “System Shock” 1 and 2.

Nice indeed, but what exactly is “Cosmic Awakening VR” all about then? Well, I think this should answer your question:

“Explore a space ship in a fully immersive experience and discover the hidden dangers within! You’ve just docked on a space station when you quickly discover that not everything is as it seems. The crew is nowhere to be found and something seems amiss. In Cosmic Awakening, you will endure through the terror to uncover the truth about what is going on in this space station. You will become part of the story as the events unfold right in front of you. Do you have what it takes to make it to the end? Can you hold onto your sanity in the midst of this nightmare? Can you do what it takes to survive? No weapons. No way to defend yourself. No escape!

Experience a fully immersive horror game like you’ve never experienced before in a fully interactive environment that will have you questioning reality! With cutting edge 3D graphics, state of the art lighting, cutting edge audio specialization, and more! This is the VR horror experience you’ve been waiting for! This is what VR is all about!” –
