  • A mesmerizing VR horror game where you can truly experience fear for your life;
  • A powerful system for crafting weapons and equipment will help you to survive;

Great start !

This is a great start yo what should be a great game the graphics are cell shaded wich I think will help it run better on the quest 2 and with some minor and major updates the game can be an epic one! Some updates that could be implemented are 1 smooth turning. 2 height adjuster. 3 improved tracking like picking up and putting away items. 4 more weapons 5 co-op! lots of updates that add to the game over time is what will keep this one going. But for now this is worth the price and with updates will be worth more keep up the good work dev(s) (Edit) smooth turning has been added !

Too hard to play

This game would have been a lot better if the developer wouldn't have gave up on this game. It's too hard to Sprint or run in the game. It would be a lot better if everyone could have a option in which you could run or Sprint without having to press hard on the remote. It would have been a real good game. It's just a waste of time and money. Don't waste your money.. SMH

Needs Definition.

If Into the Radius wasn’t a thing this game would be much better. It’s too similar to Into the Radius (another S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-ish game) for it’s good, ITR flaunts Kurgansk in most everything. If you want a game like this your going to buy ITR, Kurgansk needs more definition apart from being a downgrade. To distinguish it, in my opinion it’d be better to emphasize on a base-Building aspect similar to 7 days to die, where in you fortify with barbed wire and traps to protect you from night time enemies. An addition of a puzzle element would be neat to where players could find clues around the map to unlock things. It needs better user interface tho too.

Great game just 2 main gripes.

Amazing game, great story, pretty darn good graphics, and pretty good functionality. The story is written comic book style, it reminds me of lies beneath tbh. The graphics look solid for a semi open world game, when that 2nd stone statue appeared behind me while cooking, i jumped to the moon. The vr functionality is as good as walking dead saints and sinners in my opinion, not physics wise tho. With those things over with, here are the gripes i have with this game #1:When you die you dont start back at your home, you start at the beginning, it isnt a large trek on the way back but it gets annoying. #2: How do i save, does it happen when you beat a quest? does it save when you exit the game? do i just have to go back to the home area in order to save?

Great open world survival.

I have one huge problem, and thats snap turn, which I’m going to assume will be a update very soon so we can have smooth motion, as every VR game needs it. This game so far is handling great. I am really enjoying the world, looks great on Quest. I find a little delay in some movement. I’m really loving the comic book style as well. reminds me very much of Radiation City, but in VR. makes everything better. till my feet hurt.
