In a groundbreaking move within the virtual reality space, Infection VR is poised to redefine immersive gaming experiences. As a collaborative effort by Played With Fire and published under the Broken Mirror Games label, spearheaded by Bloober Team, this narrative-driven survival game was recently unveiled at the highly anticipated gamescom event.
Specifically tailored for the cutting-edge Quest 3 and PC VR, Star Trek: Infection VR crafts a haunting yet captivating voyage. In the heart of its complex storyline, players find themselves donning the role of a Vulcan Starfleet officer, navigating the mysterious corridors of the starship, USS Lumen. Your mission is simple yet fraught with peril: to survive and fight against a sentient infection that menacingly alters both the crew and the vessel itself.
An Adventure in Innovation
The game introduces a clutch of exciting mechanics that enhance player engagement. With equipment like the iconic tricorder and phaser at your disposal, your gameplay choices oscillate between stealth and forceful confrontation, allowing for a uniquely personalized narrative. Furthermore, players can now physically interact with the in-game environment by crafting essential items and ingenious gadgets, thus deepening the sense of immersion.
Infection VR stands as the second Star Trek VR title accessible from the comfort of one's home, arriving in the wake of Ubisoft's 2017 release, which remains available on PC VR and PSVR, albeit removed from the Quest Store in 2022.
- Enhanced Gameplay: Choose between stealth and force.
- Crafting: Hands-on crafting of items and gadgets.
- Immersive Narrative: Engrossing storyline aboard the USS Lumen.
Set for release later this year, the game will make its inaugural appearance on Quest 3 and Quest 3S, with a PC VR version expected to follow shortly thereafter on Steam. The dynamic partnership between the developers and the established horror juggernaut Bloober Team adds to the palpable excitement surrounding this release.
As the virtual reality landscape continues its rapid evolution, Infection VR is strategically positioned to captivate and invigorate its audience, bringing a vibrant blend of suspense and innovation to the gaming world.
