Today marks a momentous occasion, a confluence of technological innovation and a nostalgic nod to the origins of digital gaming. After months of relentless labor, an avalanche of creative thinking, a steady stream of community feedback, and an excitingly engaging approach to user interaction, we are thrilled to announce the re-release of the iconic text-adventure game, "Colossal Cave Adventure" on SteamVR!
Journey back in time to the golden age of text-based games, now crafted into a vibrant, sensory-rich VR environment that surpasses anything you could've imagined. We've gone above and beyond, bringing this classic to life in a highly detailed, fully immersive three-dimensional experience, while preserving the core elements that made the original so captivating. Welcome back to the mystifying, magical caves only this time, you won't just be reading about them, you'll be living them.
You asked, we listened. After receiving reports of some players experiencing seasickness within the cavernous depths of the game, we've introduced a brand-new teleportation-style locomotion system. This ensures a more comfortable experience, as you traverse the colossal chambers and labyrinthine mazes, without compromising on the thrilling aura of the game. We've managed to blend comfort, mystery, and excitement in one potent mix a recipe we hope you will savor.
The reimagined Colossal Cave is a sprawling, vast entity, boasting mammoth caverns and seemingly endless mazes. Harnessing the raw power of Steam VR, we're now able to render the game's scale and depth with unprecedented detail and realism. The enhanced visual and auditory VR experience elevates the classic game into an entirely new plane, transforming the mystical underground universe into a tangible, touchable reality. Most untethered headsets can only dream of delivering this level of detailed immersion.
You might be wondering, "But how can I upgrade my existing game?" We've got you covered. For those of you who already possess Colossal Cave on Steam, you'll find the game updating itself the next time you log in (although, if you've opted out of automatic updates, you'll need to take a moment to manually initiate the update).
Now for the grand finale: Colossal Cave VR isn't restricted to any particular headset. Be it the Oculus Quest 2, Rift, or Rift S, Valve Index HMD, or any other VR headset compatible with Steam, you're all set to dive into the cavernous depths and experience this enchanting virtual reality. All you need is your VR headset, controllers, and an eagerness to explore, solve riddles, and unravel the game's magical mysteries. (Note: Colossal Cave currently does not support controllers with touch controls/gestures.)
So, prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey into the past, all the while reveling in the groundbreaking advancements of modern gaming technology. You'll laugh, you'll puzzle, and you might even scream, but we promise: you won't want to leave. Rediscover the magic and mystery of Colossal Cave now reimagined for SteamVR.
