This game has had a very long and interesting story (maybe one day I’ll write a long post about it), and it has lived various transitions, with the last one being from a passthrough AR game to a standard VR game.

Happy VR Summer! This is the first day of this sunny season (if you live in my same hemisphere of course), and I hope that you won’t have any Summertime Sadness like Lana Del Rey, but you all will enjoy the sun, have some relax, and forget for a moment all the hard times we […]

That day be sure to download it from SideQuest and please also […]
