A lone wanderer on the edge of space, a mystery as old as the universe itself, and one little robot who just wants to make the tea.

Into Black is a First-Person action adventure that takes you into the depths of a mysterious alien planet. Explore the endless darkness, mine valuable resources, and fight off alien beasts as you try to repair your ship and escape.

Designed for Meta Quest and leveraging the power of Quest 3, featuring a rich story, multiple game modes, and solo or co-op gameplay.

Great game

Very no man's sky vibes. It was very fun to play and had a good story. The voice actor of the robot was the best part with his witty humor.

Defective saving system

I would like to like it, but the saving system is too unforgiving. I don't have time to sit such long gaming sessions.

EDIT: so the devs said there is a new saving system but it does not work! When I leave to the ship it is supposed to create a checkpoint that I can reach from the NavCon, but when I go there the only thing I can do is start over the level! I gave this game a second chance because of that and now I can't be refunded! This is so misleading, I am furious!

EDIT 2: I have been in touch with the devs to fix my problem. They have been very responsive for a while but now they seem to ghost me. Very disappointed by Binary Mill.

Hidden gem

Finally a game that really lets you move. Seriously, just traversing the environments in this game is a blast. I had so much fun jumping, dashing, and grappling my way around the caves. And thanks to their liberal use of atmospheric affects and colors, the cave environments look surprisingly diverse. There's lots to look at as you mine and fight to your hearts content. Its a great feeling game, and I was super excited to jump in. Though, by the end I did find my initial excitement to be waning as once you've completed a few missions there's little in the way of new mechanics to keep the initial high going. Also I did have quite a few encounters with enemies getting stuck behind or underneath the terrain. Still though, I'd rate this a hidden gem and enjoyed it much more than I expected.

Second most fun vr game i played so far

Update, now that i got bhaptic vest I'm a bit disappointed this game doesn't have it. Please add support for that. That could really increase immersion.

I love this game, it just makes me happy! The graphics are really beautiful and charming, the robot that follows you is really funny and ads to the feeling of fun and quality. The movement is fantastic, I love just jumping around shooting enemies, It's just amazing how well done that part is done. For those that can't do that without puking they have teleportation and a platform gun that allows me to play with my friends who have not yet grown their vr legs.

Collecting resources to upgrade your gear is a big part of this game and that is something they really done well here. I find myself wanting to gather things like flowers and crystals on my way to places even when I'm full, it's satisfying in some way.

The game has some minor glitches like enemies getting stuck, I fell trough the ground once and the enemies are just a bit stupid, but that's ok, they are fun.
At the end of level screen deaths is always 0 even if someone do dies. The mining numbers are a bit strange, my friend fire example had around 400 when i looked at her score but she had was lot more watching her screen. Same with my numbers. In the first levels, before getting the portal gun some places area bit hard to get to for people that can not move without teleporting.

Other than that this game is amazing.
