Embark on an adventure to explore a vast and treacherous temple and uncover the ancient legend of the Eye. Keep your balance as you step between moving blocks, dodging hazardous traps and solving environmental puzzles with just your torch and whip in hand.

This game requires a play area of at least 2m x 2m.

TRAVERSE A VAST ENVIRONMENT

Eye of the Temple makes unique use of room-scale VR to deliver an experience of navigating an expansive space. Lose yourself in the depths of the temple without teleportation, artificial locomotion, or other distractions.

USE A FULLY PHYSICALLY SIMULATED WHIP

Wield your whip to grab levers and defend yourself from threats. Before long, you’ll have mastered it as a reliable tool and effective weapon.

AN EXPERIENCE PLAYED WITH YOUR OWN BODY

Step onto blocks, flick levers, and dodge obstacles. You’ll play this physical game not with controller buttons, but your body, and it’s designed to be easily approachable regardless of whether you normally play video games.

UNLOCKABLE SPEEDRUN CHALLENGES

If you’re an extra daring adventurer, you can unlock speedrun challenges where you can build up incredible speed for a true test of your temple-running prowess.

Please note!

You may get a sensation of almost losing your balance when blocks you stand on start or stop moving, and there is a small risk of falling over. This will usually quickly decrease over time. The game also has various VR comfort options.

Absolutely brill

Love this game it's perfect for

Best VR game I've ever played. Period.

This is one of the only VR games that really make you feel like you're in another world. It's totally immersive. At certain points my heart was racing! It even has a couple of very challenging boss fights! Graphics are great too. This is seriously a MUST play. My only reservation is that I think some people literally could not handle this game, it is that immersive. The game is hidden gem, and should be on every VR top 10 list.

Wow, real movement is so immersive

I wish more games would do real movement within your 2x2m sq space (I appreciate that not everyone has this space though). I remember being blown away by a demo of God for Tea, which actually uses available space so you can actually walk around for real. Though this only does it with 2x2m sq, it does an incredible job with this limited space (once I fixed a problem with Meta/App? that kept changing my border to stationary). I really fell for the illusion that I was using my own real-world steps to traverse the temple. Also, when you see all the mini-train tracks you get the promise of rides all around the temple, which definitely does not disappoint. It only takes 2-3 hours to complete, but I thought it was well worth it for the experience.

More games like this plz

Is this game really a 5/5? No, should you still buy it? YES.

Here’s why. The 1-person dev team engineered a completely unique way to have people move around in VR that gives you the illusion of exploring a massive continuous temple complex while keeping you in your living room. It’s fun, it’s jaw dropping, and it is the right amount of challenging.

It’s not a triple AAA story, the voice acting is a tad cheesy, and a couple textures look a little pixelated (as of 2025). But this is still an absolute masterpiece of VR game design that should be studied and copied.

Best adventure game ever

I have played many adventure puzzle games and this one is by far the most fun. It takes a while (not too long) to get used to stepping from one moving block to another without losing your balance. Once you find your center of gravity it is a blast. I stayed low in my stance for a while. You actually get a bit of a workout in this game. I have played it a few times and I am playing it again. I wish there was an eye of the temple 2. Would buy it immediately. Keep up the great work. Thank you for this gem.💎

No Crossbuy

Just bought and didn´t play. I´m already disapointed because it´s not as most other apps in this store. It doesn´t come with the PCVR version, unlike most of all games. The joke is, when you use the searchbar in Link-PC, this games shows up. I wouldn´t bought it if it wouldn´t suggest that PCVR is included. I have a powerful PC and bought it over meta to get both (standalone + pcvr) like with every other game I bought from meta. I thought it is a must do for developpers to the TOC of meta to bring additional Crossbuy if there is a PCVR version that exists.
