A mysterious virus has brought on an apocalypse, leaving you trapped in an abandoned subway station. In this stationary VR shooter, you hold your ground against waves of zombies and other mutants.
Fight with a handgun for precision and light, or a shotgun for close-range power. Reload your weapons between attacks, manage your ammunition, and use your fists when enemies get too close.
A run lasts about 30 minutes, with four difficulty modes and a locally saved high score for replay challenges. Optional additions include two-player co-op and a sniper weapon pack.
Reviewers often enjoy the tense VR horror atmosphere, startling enemy encounters, and satisfying weapon handling, with visuals and sound also drawing praise. Some describe it as an approachable first VR horror game and appreciate the free base experience. Others find the fixed position, short run, and limited weapon selection restrictive; complaints about paid add-ons and occasional weapon or control problems also appear.
Propagation VR is provided for private use only. For commercial licensing including various (multiplayer) experiences, please visit our website.
Get the Co-op DLC to play Propagation VR in 2-player cooperation. See the dedicated Steam page for more information.
Mastered the game and want to try a new weapon? The Sniper Weapon Pack gives you a whole new way of playing (compatible with solo and co-op)!
A mysterious virus brought on the apocalypse. Trapped in an abandoned subway station filled with monsters from your worst nightmares, you can only count on your cold blood and your skills to survive. You might get a little help... or not. Throughout this short but intense immersive experience, thrilling cinematics and a variety of enemies will keep you on your toes. Unable to move and trying to strategically manage the horrific monsters coming at you, you will truly live the horror. The realistic handling of weapons will add to the tension, as you try to think straight and manage your ammunition. Surviving Propagation VR is a challenge you will remember.
Study your enemy for weaknesses, analyze the situation and overcome your fear if you want to make it till the end.
Manage your weapons wisely. You carry two weapons, each with their own qualities :
- Use the handgun on your belt if you need precision, quick reload, or a light in the dark
- Use the shotgun on your back for a powerful short-range blast
Don't forget to reload whenever you catch your breath, or you will only be left with your fists to defend yourself in close combat.
4 difficulty modes are available : Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Impossible!
