A VR survival horror roguelike.

Trapped in a dying spaceship filled with horrors, you must explore, survive, and find your way back to the safety of Earth. Cosmodread features a rich, tense and immersive atmosphere that will make you forget about the world outside the headset.

EXPLORE

Search for resources and find a way home. Every run will have you play in a new procedurally generated layout, with random positions for rooms, corridors, items and hazards, and different emergent situations. You’ll never quite know what’s behind the next door.

SURVIVE

Use your own hands to interact with the environment. Open doors, drawers and lockers and rummage through their contents. Collect basic resources, and craft weapons and equipment to deal with both enemies and hazards.

FIGHT

Crouch behind cover and shoot at enemies with your crossbow, or set a trap for them to walk into. But remember: ammo is scarce!

Scared Steveless in VR

One of my favorite VR Horror games of all times. This game still scares me every time I play it even years later. May I please request a CO-OP version of this game in the future. This game is already great on its own but CO-OP would being a whole other level to this game if you can drag your friends in the horror adventure too. Thank you for making this game!

Poor execution of a good concept

Making a game overly difficult doesn’t mean you’ve achieve an atmosphere of “dread,” sometimes you’ve just frustrated players too early for them to continue playing.
Where to begin...
1. You don't enough oxygen and are constantly looking for more. Sometimes you won’t find enough and will die before doing anything besides looking for more oxygen.
2. You don't have a room-labeled map and the map you do have only shows you rooms you've already been in. This means you have no idea where you’re going and have to blindly explore everything, all while running out of oxygen.
3. Your starting weapon (whatever it may be) only stuns the enemies at best and that is only after using multiple rounds of ammo (which is scarce).
4. The spaceship you're exploring apparently runs exclusively on batteries(?!) that you must swap between locations in order to accomplish anything. They also drain quickly and cannot be recharged (that I’m aware of).
5. You move as if both legs are broken while enemies move very quickly, some enemies jump across entire rooms so fast you can barely follow them.
In short, this game isn’t appealing and it isn’t fun. There isn’t even a backstory or context to events leading into the game for players to care about. This really just feels like lazy game development in my opinion, but I’m sure there are plenty of gamers who would enjoy the straight: “space shooter with multiple ticking-clocks and lack of anything resembling a story or narrative” approach.

excellent

As a gamer I must say, Cosmodread is where it’s at. The scariest, peek around the corner, pop out scare of a lifetime. It’s literally feels like a blanket of scary dread lingers in the ship. Totally neat.

Horror Fun

One of my favorite games on vr. It actually has a lot of replayibility. Finally a game with some meat on its bones for vr

Broken, Unplayable

First, lemme get this out the way: my review is a work in progress.

Install N° Uno: ~795MB later, Im hyped up to launch this thing, thinking about how everyone else says the graphics look ugly, but I played the ASCII variants of Rogue and BRogue, how are "dated" graphics gonna stop ME?! I launch about a minute after the final install, get the generic "Disturbing Content" warning, get the game splash screen with "Loading..." on it, then Im plunged into the dark Abyss with only sound. Not sure if a menu was supposed to pop up immediately or not, but with a sigh of resignation I uninstalled. I now wait for Install N° 2 to finish, I hope it gets it right (and Meta needs to go the way of Steam and add the ability to verify install files, my goodness).

Install N° 2: I finally got the main menu!! Yay!! Snap turn and teleport movement off the rip? You have now assumed too much. I open my menu, I tweak my settings to give me smooth locomotion and smooth camera turning, and I give my controls a test to see if they hold water... they do, but apparently if I turn to quick with the right analog stick Im plunged back into the Abyss. No biggie, I'll just relaunch the game... it happened AGAIN when I turned my right analog stick again. I CANNOT play games that restrict me to snap turning and teleport move just to satiate the requirements to run the game. You need to issue a patch.

An oldie but a Goldie

This game, and Dreadhalls, are the best VR Roguelites available on the Quest. It can be a little frustrating when you get a bad map and no ammo anywhere. But keep getting the blueprints, expand your options game by game. I bought this game on the first Quest and just beat it on my new Quest 3, and it was a great experience. Absolutely begging the developer to make something new, but exactly like the other 2.
