Hello everyone,
As some of you might know, we planned to release Syndrome with VR support.
We believe the setting and gameplay is perfect for a VR game.
But unfortunately we got to some technical obstacles that prevented this from happening, and the idea was dropped.
Our partner Bigmoon Entertainment was working on porting the game to PS4 and Xbox One and decided to try to create a VR version for consoles too. They eventually got into the same obstacles (level design, FPS count, etc) and concluded that it wouldn't be possible to make a full VR port at this time, so they created a VR survival mode, that's now also available for PC.
-Syndrome VR is not the full game in VR. It's an endless survival mode-
So how will this be available on Steam?
The original plan was to release this VR mode in a DLC. But unfortunately there were also some technical difficulties with how Steam works:
"Syndrome VR" contains the full game with some minor changes from Bigmoon Entertainment and the VR survival mode. If this game could be accessed from a DLC, it would overwrite the original Syndrome in your game library.
What we wanted was for you to have both games in your library: "Syndrome" from Camel 101 and "Syndrome VR" from Bigmoon Entertainment, since both versions are slightly different.
But unfortunately this couldn't be done through a DLC.
Our only option was to have "Syndrome VR" from Bigmoon Entertainment as a new game.
Of course it wouldn't be fair for Syndrome owners to have to buy another Syndrome game just to play the VR mode, so after discussing this with our partner Bigmoon Entertainment and Steam, we both decided to offer Syndrome VR free of charge to everyone who's bought Syndrome.
It should be available right now on the game library.
This offer is targeted solely for current owners of Syndrome.
We hope you enjoy the VR survival mode!
Syndrome VR is developed, published and supported by Bigmoon Entertainment. All support enquiries regarding Syndrome VR should be addressed to them.
