A lone girl remains stranded on a shattered star, cut off from escape or rescue after its power fades. Players don a VR headset to access a convergence point linking to her world, enabling communication and joint efforts to revive the star's energy through puzzles. This VR-specific communication puzzle game builds core interactions around head glances for intuitive character direction.
Controls rely solely on the head-mounted display, with optional buttons on Oculus Touch, VIVE, WinMR, or keyboard for toggles and recentering. Autosave handles progress in a dedicated folder. VR enthusiasts drawn to gaze-based puzzles and cooperative otherworld links will find a focused prologue experience here.
This work will soon be free.
VR-specific
Communication Puzzle Game
Made for VR from the very foundations.
※ Notes

Story
A lone girl stands abandoned on a broken star.
With the star deprived of its power, she can neither use it to escape nor inform others of her plight.
However, there exists a point on this star that intersects with another world.
The player, by standing on this convergence point and wearing the Otherworld-Viewing Device (VR unit), can enter the parallel world and communicate with the girl.
Together, they cooperate to solve the puzzle of restoring the star's power so she may be able to leave.
Character
Game Concept
Although sight is highly intuitive in VR, the same cannot be said for most other aspects, leading to irritation from clumsy controls.
