Asunder: Earthbound is a short and dark cinematic adventure game set in a fictional 1930′s universe aboard a passenger airplane. Strange things occur as the story unfolds which require the player to act quickly if he wants to survive. The player needs to discover his place in the world, picking up clues in the environment and figuring out the best course of action based on his observations and in-game events.
Communicate with characters using natural head-gestures.
Use direction of gaze to procedurally control your virtual body.
Uniquely designed for VR, integrating Rift sensors and stereoscopic displays directly into gameplay.
Includes extra mini-scenes which feature some horrifying, humorous, relaxing & atmospheric experiences.
This short experience is a stand-alone game, gameplay time ranging from 20-45 minutes depending on your puzzle-solving skills. But this is also a tech-demo showcase; packed with new game mechanics for next generation virtual reality games.
The game is available for Mac OS X and Windows (compatible with regular monitors as well).

Ok, just downloaded and played it through once. It took me a few attempts, but once i figured out the 'controls' - I was instantly immersed and in awe at the experience you have created here! Very very impressive! I'm a big fan of adventure/story driven games, so this is exactly the type of experience I am looking forward to in VR. Great sound, visuals, and loved how the gaze controls your communications/interactions/virtual body! I would go further into detail, but don't want to spoil anything for others.. Suffice to say, there is tons of really great stuff going on in this game, and some fun mechanics that I haven't seen yet in other games/demos. Great work here!! Spoiler- I was immediately startled in the 2nd scene, as my breath was somehow matching the breath of my avatar - that felt really awesome! And also blowing the smoke rings at the end was cool as hell. Great attention to detail overall!
Got it on the download, might do a let's play of it as well. These kinds of games need to be out there for people to see and know that development of high quality Vr games are on the way.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! Looking forward to hearing from those who had yet to download.

@Ninjabirdman - Buying and downloading as soon as I get home. Loved the Trial of the Rift Drifter and can't wait to play this one!
Thanks so much for playing and for the great reviews! 😄 We're definitely aiming at improving quality and technology in each iteration of our published games. Really glad to hear that it shines through.
Do share any links if you publish a Let's play vid — I'd love to see them 😃 To those that hadn't played at the time of posting: Hope you like it!
