π«Yupitergrad 2 is coming to Steam this Summer π«
Hey astronauts, we have an exciting update for you from the furthest reaches of our solar system!
βοΈWe're thrilled that you've been following our progress with Yupitergrad 2: The Lost Station. We want to officially announce that the Steam version will be released during the third quarter of this year. Our team is working hard to make it happen as soon as possible, but porting a VR game to Steam comes with some tricky challenges, (that's why we don't have a specific date just yet).
βοΈIn the meantime - check out the new trailer showcasing the game's features, released alongside the launch on the Meta Store:
πIf you've got Meta goggles, you can start playing right away, but for those waiting for the Steam VR version, hang tight! We'll update you with a specific release date for Yupitergrad 2 soon.
Play with everyone! It's time to unravel the mystery of the Pyramid, check out a snippet of what you can expect from the full version of Rooms of Realities.
We're happy to announce that with the launch of Puzzle Fest, you can now play the Rooms of Realities demo. This is a unique test for us because we are combining co-op, escape rooms and VR in one title (although whether you play solo or co-op is up to you - the puzzles in the game adapt to it!) so we are very keen to get feedback from you before the premiere!
ποΈAs we announced on Friday - please note that the demo currently works on Meta headsets (Quest 1,2, Pro), but we will support more hardware until launch.
ποΈIf you are interested in exploring the world, we also have good news for you, because although there is currently a fragment of the scenario set in Egypt, two more new settings will be available during the release of the full version.
ποΈIf you are wondering how much of the game is the demo - you get one of the 9 levels of the finished project. It contains a fragment of one of the three basic scenarios and a lobby.
ποΈFor those strongly interested in the topic of VR gaming - you can also find the current demo on App Lab.

π¬A BRAND NEW YUPITERGRAD 2 TRAILER is here! Meet AIsha!π¬
A new trailer is here, together with some new exciting info about the game!
As we get closer to the release of Yupitergrad 2: The Lost Station, we're gearing up to give you a more in-depth look at what kind of game we're preparing. And there is not a better way to do this than showing you our new trailer
Swinging through the corridors, solving environmental puzzles, opening new passages, and fighting rebellious robots are just some of the exciting elements of Yupitergrad 2 you will see in the trailer below. All neatly commented by our wonderful narrator.
We cannot also forget about AIsha - our loyal virtual companion. With her help, the journey through the dangerous station will be much more interesting and comfortable:
ποΈAbout the game
Yupitergrad 2 is an action adventure game in which you move around an abandoned space station using suction cups attached to ropes. Wait, but thatβs just the beginning! Youβll also have jets (nozzles) to maneuver in the air, and a set of powerful weapons to eliminate cheesy robotic opponents.
The game consists of everything a good VR adventure should have: environmental puzzles, hostile enemies, exciting combat system, lots of gadgets and some easter eggs with some strong vibes of metroidvania games.
Not only that, the light and humorous tone of the game will definitely keep you engaged through the whole experience.
βWhat's new in Yupitergrad 2?
It's full of new ideas - we built this game according to the principle of "more & better".
First of all, we focused on the open structure of the space base, in which you should look for ways to open further passages. We will encounter rebellious machines to fight and shoot at with our new weapons. Our hero will use various helpful gadgets to maneouvre the game world, and his companion AIsha will finally appear on the screen!
All this together creates a new, more adventurous atmosphere and the feeling of actually taking part in a great space adventure in VR.
πΈDo I need to know Yupitergrad 1 to enjoy the sequel?
Yupitergrad 2 very gently refers to the first part, being a completely new story. We took an approach similar to games like Mario or Zelda - where each part is a separate entity, but takes some basics and expectations from its predecessor.
β‘οΈGame access and release
The release is now set for the first half of 2023. The game will be available on Pico Neo headsets, and a little later on Meta Quest 2. Further platforms, including Steam and HTC Vive XR Elite, will have release dates after the release on Quest 2.
Also, we'll soon be sending the trial version to the press and influencers, so you can check out their impressions online before the full release so stay tuned!
