VR players will get a chance to test out the latest version of Bootstrap Island this week during Steam VR Fest (December 4-11th), finding themselves shipwrecked on a mysterious tropical island in the 17th century. They will need to quickly learn to adapt and survive by exploring for food and drink, collecting materials to make fire; and surviving the dark night from being attacked by ferocious beasts.
Focused entirely on PCVR headsets, like Valve Index and Meta (Oculus) Quest PC-link devices; Bootstrap Island offers a realistic survival adventure in an immersive, yet comfortable VR experience designed with minimal menus and natural feeling controls.
Some of the game’s features PCVR players can look forward to exploring are:
- In-depth systems-based gameplay like tearing open coconuts for nourishment and tinder
- Realistic and detailed interactions such as striking together flints to create sparks for a fire
- A dynamic day and night cycle on the island
- Finding randomized resources inside locked treasure chests
- The grande finale of witnessing an active volcano erupt 🌋
The Bootstrap Island development team will also make an appearance during Steam VR Fest for 2 livestreams scheduled for Wednesday Dec 7th on Youtube, and Thursday Dec 8th on Twitch. The developers will be discussing the origins and future development of Bootstrap Island, answering players' questions, as well as sharing a few tropical survival tips.
