Virtual reality development studio Mindfield Games has announced that their VR game, P·O·L·L·E·N, has been approved by gamers on Steam Greenlight, in what the developer claims is ”a record breaking 36 hours.”
P·O·L·L·E·N is a first person exploration game taking place on a research station on one of Saturn’s moons. Mindfield describes the game as ”a strikingly beautiful first-person psychological space thriller where everything object or machine and their hidden features can be interacted with.”
The game reportedly takes its inspiration from Solaris, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Moon, so you can bet the game will play with reality versus imagination. Its video game inspiration comes from Gone Home and The Dig, which indicates a heavy dose of personal nostalgia will be in the mix, too.
P·O·L·L·E·N is due to be released in early 2016, and the game won’t require VR to play, but supports a wide variety of VR devices, including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and OSVR.
