The game features a unique hybrid control scheme. While players can manipulate objects in the world using the Vive wands, player movement is controlled via the wand trackpad rather than the more typical teleportation system seen in most roomscale VR experiences. While some have expressed concern that controller-based locomotion in first person VR games can cause motion sickness, Deceptive Games claims that their particular control solution “allows for full immersion.”
Vive owners can expect Alone? VR to require the standard minimum hardware suggested for most VR games: an Intel i5 4500 series processor paired with an NVIDIA GTX 970 GPU.
If the trailer below is any indication, Vive owners looking for jump scares and spooky environments will find plenty in Alone? VR.
