Free Demo Coming
We've heard from some of you that you would like a demo. So next week we will have the first 3 levels of the VR Missions available to download for free. So be sure to check back!
If you can't wait or would like to support our team, please feel free to purchase the full VR Missions on Indiegamestand or Desura
I might be ordering the VR missions soon, keeping my eye on this ;D
Still looks promising, looking forward for that demo !
