Q: What about the standalone Meta Quest version?
A: Yup, we are working on it and we plan to release it by the end of this year!
Q: What about the standalone Steam version?
A: We do not plan to release a standalone Steam version because we’ve included it for FREE in the base game! We believe that this approach is not only more fair to our players but also helps us tackle technical challenges while maintaining the game efficiently with our small team.

A: Absolutely! We’ve enabled non-VR and VR players to join forces seamlessly. Give it a try!
Q: Can community rooms be played in VR?
A: Yes, but community rooms are still in BETA, and there’s work to be done to bring them up to satisfactory standards. We appreciate your patience.

A: We’ve implemented a range of options that you can enable and adjust to minimize VR motion sickness.
