Installing on PC (Via Steam VR)

Getting started:

  • You'll need Steam installed
    •  SteamVR installed from the Steam store

Download & Extract the Game

  • From Itch, download the .zip.
  • Right-click → Extract All… (don’t run from inside the zip).

  • Keep the folder structure intact (don’t move the .exe out of its folder).
  • Add to Steam

    • Add to Steam library as a Non-Steam Game

    Connect your Headset

    • Valve Index / HTC Vive / WMR: Plug in headset and base stations, power on controllers.
    • Meta Quest over wifi: Install Steam Link on headset. Ensure you have a strong wifi network (5/6+ghz)
    • Meta Quest wired: Install Meta Quest Link desktop app. Plug in with USB-C - enable Link in the Headset settings.

    Start Steam VR

    • Valve Index / HTC Vive / WMR: Open SteamVR on your PC and confirm:
      • Headset, base stations/sensors, and controllers show green/ready.
      • Put on the headset to wake it so SteamVR sees it as active.
    • Meta Quest: Launch SteamLink app on Meta Quest

    Inside SteamVR:

    • Launch the game from your steam library inside SteamVR
    • Optional: Sometimes this works...
      • With SteamVR already running, double-click the game .exe in the extracted folder.
      • If Windows SmartScreen pops up: click More info → Run anyway (we’re indie, the build isn’t code-signed yet).
