An unofficial engine or source port that runs the original game data in VR. Standalone builds install on the headset rather than running through SteamVR.
Standalone headset installation. This build runs on Quest / Pico, not through SteamVR on your PC. A PC may still be needed to sideload the APK and copy legally owned game files.

Setup notes
