CryoDeath x bHaptics Partnership Announcement
Hello everyone,
We’re incredibly excited to officially announce that CryoDeath VR is now partnered with bHaptics.
As part of this partnership, bHaptics have provided us with TWO full development kits to help bring advanced full-body haptic immersion to CryoDeath and future Panic Point Games projects.
For our small independent VR team, this is honestly a huge milestone and allows us to properly develop and test advanced haptic systems fully in-house.
Full bHaptics Support Planned
Our immediate focus is implementing full bHaptics support for CryoDeath ahead of the Quest launch.
Planned features currently include:
Creature encounter feedback
Environmental interactions
Weapon impacts and recoil
Damage response
Atmospheric effects
Potential Heartbeat
And much more...
Our goal is to make you physically feel the tension, atmosphere and panic of CryoDeath in a way that pushes immersion even further.
Quest Development Expansion
Alongside this partnership, we’ve also expanded our internal Quest hardware lineup and now actively develop and test across:
Meta Quest 3
Meta Quest 3S
Meta Quest 2
This now gives us the ability to properly and efficiently develop across the full Quest ecosystem internally with much stronger:
Standalone optimisation
Hardware testing
Compatibility coverage
Performance validation
We’d like to give a massive thank you to the bHaptics team for believing in what we’re building and supporting the project.
More development updates, standalone footage and haptics showcases coming very soon.
Thank you all for the continued support.

CRYODEATH – Price Update & Free HUNT Mode
We want to be fully transparent with everyone supporting CRYODEATH.
CRYODEATH is developed by a very small team — led by a solo developer, with only two people working on the project in total. Over the past 3 months, the game has been heavily rebuilt and expanded, with major improvements across systems, environments, and overall progression.
As part of this update, we’re introduced HUNT, a new end-game mode that is included free for all players. Nothing is locked behind DLC, and existing owners automatically received this content at no extra cost.
To thank early supporters and players who had CRYODEATH on their wishlists, we ran a heavy discount ahead of at the release of this update. This gave everyone a final opportunity to pick up the game at a lower price before the new base price came into effect.
Because of the scope of work now reflected in the game, the base price of CRYODEATH has increased from £14.99 to £24.99.
Important:
If you already own CRYODEATH, you keep everything — including HUNT and all future core updates.
No content has been removed or paywalled.
This price change reflects the current scale and quality of the game.
Thank you for supporting an independent project — your feedback, testing, and patience genuinely made this possible.
