Time for another devlog! Today’s topic is the release date. The significant expansion of the project means that we are unable to release the game in 2022. We already have many finished elements, some need polishing, and some are in the process of development (for example, we are in contact with voice actors).
We also want you to understand what we are working on. Into The Darkness VR will offer a deep story. We want every character in the game to have an interesting personality and to tell their part of this complex story. We are also working on scenes that (we hope) will ensure that you will not forget about the game for a long time.
We have big plans for Into The Darkness VR, and just like you, can’t wait for the game. We know that these types of complex story-driven VR games do not come out too often, so everything has to be perfect. We hope you can play Into The Darkness VR in 2023.
In the meantime, we leave you with some new work-in-progress screenshots from the engine.

New locations in Into The Darkness VR
Hey guys!
Just look
As you may have guessed - we are quietly working on Into The Darkness VR. We are developing new levels, preparing collectibles, and analyzing gameplay... Another typical month for us, where we are preparing for you a game that takes full advantage of the power of PCVR.
Usually, we write a lot, but this time we'll simply show you some screenshots of work-in-progress locations that probably wouldn't be available in the game if we hadn't expanded the scale of Into The Darkness VR (more about that, in the previous devlog!).
Like last time, we have a short, raw video from our tests. Below you can see the examination of the new combat model.
Hope you like it!

Redesign revealed
Hey guys!
A lot of you have arrived here since the Steam VR festival! Thanks for your interest in the game! If you are new here and looking forward to Into The Darkness VR then the following short introduction below is for you!
Are you new here?
Into The Darkness VR is a title we first showed in 2021. In the meantime, we released a demo of the game, which was liked by so many players that today it is one of the most anticipated VR game on Steam. Players' expectations for Into The Darkness VR have grown so much that comparisons to top VR games have begun. Our reaction to this?
We increased the budget
We extended the production time to match the new scale of the game
As Gameboom VR, we took care of the game design (the amazing Cosmos Games are responsible for the rest of the game!)
The rest since then has been history, which you can follow in the devlogs.
Remember the tutorial from the demo?
If you belong to the group of people who remember the Into The Darkness VR demo, you probably know what the game's tutorial looked like. If you haven't seen it - check out the numerous materials on YouTube! Today we'd like to show you how this level has changed and evolved! Here are new screenshots of the game!
We hope that we meet your expectations.
New glove feature
A little surprise! In the previous devlog, you could see one of the features of the glove, which allows you to manipulate objects with great precision. But that's not all your “hands” will be able to do! Below is a short gif showing you our test of the "push" function. Let us know what you think!
