You are now able to earn Steam trading cards by playing Island Time VR! Use your cards to get badges, emoticons and profile backgrounds. Now, if only you could find a way to use them to start a fire? Maybe, you could eat them to survive. Sorry, look, to be honest, these won’t help you survive any longer. They are really just pretty neat.
Sound cutting out issue
Oops! We found an issue when using SteamVR where sound does not play in the headset.
This issue is caused by the game window losing focus when SteamVR loads up.
We're working on a patch but the work around is to make sure to click back on the mirrored game screen on your PC to restore sound to the game in headset.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for playing!

The top winner each week will receive a special, limited edition Carl The Crab enamel pin, Flight School shirt and, heck, we’ll throw in a signed print featuring artwork from our Emmy® nominated VR experience, Manifest 99.

What are you waiting for? Grab some coconuts, a boombox and get to SURVIVIN’!
Island Time VR Launches April 3!
Set sail for the adventure of a lifetime: Island Time VR launches on April 3rd for Oculus, Vive, PlayStation VR and Steam VR! It’ll be the best $14.99 you’ve ever spent.
The idea for Island Time VR came from one of our team members during some downtime. Who hasn’t wondered if they could survive on a remote island? Surely you’ve spent entire weekends pondering, “what’s the one thing I’d take with me if I was stranded on an island?”
In that spirit, our team began thinking of what would make a VR survival game fun. The guy who had the idea, Alessandro Kitchener, quickly prototyped the concept with the team in a day. We found a lot of potential in the concept from that first play session. We loved that a tiny island could give the player a natural bounds for VR gameplay. Between spearing fish, collecting resources and dealing with fire, there’s a lot of physical movement for VR players.
We are BEYOND happy to have collaborated with Greg Miller from Kinda Funny for the voice of Carl the Crab, your only companion on the Island. Greg really brought Carl to life with a hilarious and earnest voice – somewhere between Kimmy Schmidt and Nathan Fillion – which you can get a taste of in our new trailer.

So, we’ll be looking forward to seeing you survive and die (again and again) on April 3rd. Just watch out for Steven Seagull. That guy is a real jerk!
