If you have an Oculus and want to get a feel for the immersive environment and user interaction of RogueVR, there is an "alpha teaser" demo currently available for free download. It's not a full-fledged game, but it IS an experience!

Head to VirtualRogue.com to find the "Demos & Downloads" to try it out

INSTRUCTIONS: Download and unzip the executable file from the above link, then run it (make sure your Oculus is plugged in and turned on!) Whichever direction the Oculus is facing when you start the program will be the default "forward" facing direction, so make sure the headset is facing forward before starting the game.

Once in the game, you can look around, see the environment, see your body, etc. Currently, the only action available in the game is moving/walking. To do so, look at the point you want to walk to on the floor; you will see a footsteps icon appear to indicate the walk target. If you look at the floor for an extended period of time (currently 2 seconds), you will move to that destination.

NOTE: Keep in mind that this is a very alpha development build to showcase the feel and interaction -- a more complete demo of the full functionality of the game will be coming soon! (Keep in mind that the timed-turn-based walk/interact method is still in progress; time limits may be altered through play-testing, and a status indicator will tell you how much time has elapsed and show when you are about to choose that action.)
