Community research
This is a complete, downloadable PCVR package with tracked weapons and physical interactions; the creator completed the campaign during development. It remains beta, and a current Quest user reports hand-angle/weapon-offset aiming problems.
Evidence checked: Current creator README and release package/checksum instructions, beta.7 changelog/test notes and open aiming issue with Quest Pro/Quest 3 and VDXR configuration reviewed.
Known limitations
- Beta; latest beta.7 patch has focused headset validation, not a full campaign replay.
- Open issue reports awkward aim angle and weapon offset on Quest Pro/Quest 3 via VDXR.
- Online multiplayer is unsupported; local/offline multiplayer is experimental.
- Performance and foliage pop-in vary by scene and hardware.
