VR games are all the rage nowadays, with everyone from indie developers to AAA studios trying their hand at it. Thanks to the amazing level of immersion inherent in the tech, space VR games have been a staple of the platform since its early days.
The latest space VR game is Detached, from Polish indie developer Anshar Studios. A space exploration game, the title puts the player in the shoes of an unlucky bastard in the edges of the galaxy. Trapped in a derelict space station, you wake up alone and on the verge of suffocation, and your only hope is to reunite with your crew and find a way off the station. Problem is, you don’t know where they are or what happened to them.
Designed for VR headsets from scratch, Detached utilizes the Oculus/VIVE’s controls to move around. Aiming one of them around and holding a button activates the thrusters, while holding a button and rotating the other control spins your character. The controls are understandably a bit awkward to get into, being different from nearly all games out there, but a moderately feasible degree of movement can be attained after only a few minutes.
