Homebound

Immerse yourself in the most beautiful and spine chilling VR experience to date. Experience a series of catastrophic events in the cold void of deep space as you crash rapidly towards earth. When disaster strikes, your one mission is to make it out alive as fast as you can. Dead or alive, you are Homebound.

Virtual Reality

Homebound is built as a next-gen experience for VR. It supports the Vive (with motion controllers) as well as the Oculus Rift. It can also be played using gamepad or mouse + keyboard, and supports regular monitors as well.

The Developer

Homebound is available now for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift via Steam. The game is priced at £5.99/$8.99/€8.99 and early adopters can also look forward to a further 20% off for a week after release.

"Players will defy death as they become a lone astronaut facing a series of catastrophic events in deep space in this short and intense VR experience. With nothing but their senses and the ship’s AI to rely on for guidance, the only option is to fight to stay alive. But when disaster strikes and the ship, out of control, begins hurtling towards Earth...the chances for survival begin to decrease with every second.

Dead or alive -- you are Homebound." Store.steampowered.com

Looks amazing, guys. I might just pick up a Vive solely for this game -- or "experience" rather.
