Leaving your chaperone or starting the game somewhere out of your play space could be rather difficult. Now in all such situations, this Red Helper will be shown to guide you to your play area.
Perfomance Boost
We added a very important option to the Main Menu which gives a significant performance boost.
There are three Supersampling Presets so you can switch between them to get the best quality/performance balance for your VR setup:
Normal — is the optimal setup, good for all systems.
High — for systems from the Minimal System requirements.
Ultra — for High-End PCs, crystal clear image. More than we used in old Nevrosa version.
You can select Minimum, Maximum and Custom graphics quality for the fast setup when standing in the Apartments scene. Usually, the best results can be achieved by tuning options by hand.
Also, we removed Mirror screen Resolution customization, cause it's almost useless, but was confusing for some users.
Three New Languages
Let's welcome three new languages added to Nevrosa: Portuguese, Polish and Italian, making the total number of 9! We do not plan to stop on this and will continue to add more localisations.
Please, let us know if you found any mistypes or logic errors, you can use Bugs topic in Discussions section for this.
5 New Achivements
Added five new achievements with two of them being totally secret with a need to use some additional items to get them! Can you earn them all?
While we are finishing with the biggest update for Nevrosa: Escape ever, some cool things happened!
Guys from Steam added our Cursed Cube to SteamVR Home environment! The cube unlocks after first two hours of play and can be scaled inside Steam Home as you like.
Stay tuned for the updates! So many new features are coming to Nevrosa!
What's coming next: Soundtrack Update
Soundtrack
Big Soundtrack Update, that brings unique themes to improve the gameplay and make it more cinematic as we always wanted.
As you may know from our games, we love music and always look at it as a significant part of the gaming experience. For our most important game, we chose the most impressive music — symphonic.
With a help of Saint Petersburg State Philharmonic Orchestra, we are bringing to you tunes of the Mist World and Conway's Manor New Rosa.
Click on the image below and listen to the exclusive preview on Soundcloud:
Link to Soundcloud Page The soundtrack with all the tracks will be available separately as a DLC after a while.
New Sound Manager
To say more, we reworked our sound manager, so the game now listens completely different. All sounds added depth they never had before and good balance for the best sound experience you ever had in VR.
We are really proud of all the sound work we made with Nevrosa.
When?
So when to expect all these impressive features we've been announcing for a while?
Graphics & Soundtrack Update with lots of bugfixes is coming in 1-2 weeks from now. We are still tuning and adding minor improvements, the full list will be available in the Bugs section.
If you have something to add, please feel free to contact us or leave it on Steam forums.

What's coming next: Graphics Update
Hello, Mist World travelers.
We have two interesting announcements about nearest Nevrosa: Escape future. Here is the first one.
We prepared a massive update which includes big graphics improvements. Let's talk about them a little.
As you could get from the comparison above, we have done some work with textures and lighting to better represent Nevrosa atmosphere.
Thanks to new shaders system we can put you deeper into immersion. Some locations like Mist World now look so different!
Massive textures are no longer look unnatural on Low settings, as well.
The best part is these new textures do not heat your GPU more than the old ones and the game is still well optimized.
Stay tuned to know more about the second part of Big Update.

Moved to December
Greetings everyone who was patiently waiting for the second part of Nevrosa game.
It took almost a year for our small 4-man team to create mystery and challenging world of Nevrosa: Escape.
In the upcoming second part, you will find yourself traveling to other worlds, solve old family mysteries and puzzles, as well as intense action fights against monsters for your life.
We want to bring you this breathtaking adventure in virtual reality, focus you on details that surround and the story you are creating so we removed all the things that can distract like teleport/artificial locomotion, glowing quest tasks and annoying UI flying in front of your face.
Now we are getting to the final destination so all our ideas and solutions will be tested by you, VR enthusiasts. That is a very important moment in the life of our small indie team and we need some time to make Nevrosa more polished and narrative journey. Thank for your support during this year.
Here are those innovative features, which make Nevrosa a unique gaming experience in VR:
Redirect Walking/Scene adopting — you can walk free in-game bounded only by your chaperone. The game will adopt the scene in special moments so you can continue exploring its mystery.
Player scale changes — artifact in your hands will make you the size of a lighter so you can discover new locations and tasks.
Death and limbs damage — it is so annoying for us that VR games totally ignore the player’s body! In Nevrosa you can hurt yourself so do not play with sharp things.
No help — we do not use flying text to tell you what to do, narrator voice or flashing elements shouting “place %item_name% here you stupid”. Players will need to figure out what is happening and what to do. You will find everything you need in 1,5x2 meters area.
We will be happy if you could support us buying other our VR games, they are quite good!
tl;dr: Nevrosa: Escape release moves to mid-December. You can play free Nevrosa: Prelude to get some taste of what is coming.
