Welcome to Graymount
[READ] - The Future of Welcome to Graymount
Plain and simple.
Because I don't have the Index hardware, there is no way for me to try and fix this problem.
Additionally, I am using a version of SteamVR 1.x in Unity, with no way to upgrade to 2.x without breaking the entire project, so even then I couldn't generate the proper actions to work with Index's input.
I specifically omitted Index support from the Steam page, but of course this doesn't prevent Index users from purchasing/downloading the game.
It runs well on Oculus, seeing as that's what it was developed on, so for the time being we will be doing two things:
1) Due to these problems, as well as a few others with our version of Unity, and overall project direction, MidnightCoffee, Inc. has made the decision to distance itself (at least 6 feet!) from Graymount for a little while so work can begin on a newer project, built for the ground up for all SteamVR headsets in mind, using 2.x and the new Action input system.
2) When (when! ) we decide to return to the world of Graymount, we will focus on the Oculus platform, for publication on that store, and possibly publish to Steam later, if it's possible.
We hope you all understand this decision, and thank you for your support along the way.
I'm confident that our new project will blow Graymount out of the water in every way, while innovating on what VR can do, as a whole.
Thank you,
Judah

About Welcome to Graymount Demo
The Welcome to Graymount Demo features a new, small, standalone environment that demonstrates some of the main game mechanics to the player--all of which will be significantly expanded on in later demo releases and, of course, the full game. The whole demo takes a little under 15-20 minutes to play through.

"As a professional magician for over ten years, creating a game revolving around that premise was a given. The challenge was how to make it feel authentic--that's where VR came into play. Additionally, featuring music composed by my brother Eli, was something that I was super excited about. Those two factors make Graymount a very personal project for me." -- Judah Mantell, Developer and CEO.
