Our take on DUSTNET
The listing emphasizes the unusual combination of PC, VR, and AR participation, while giving less detail about objectives, progression, and the structure of repeated sessions. The central activity is framed around exploration, editing, and player-selected interaction.
What is DUSTNET?
DUSTNET is an asymmetrical multiplayer experience in damaged cyberspace, set among the remains of de_dust2.
Players can join through PC, VR, or AR, with each platform functioning as a separate player type. Exploration includes bhop, noclip, teleport, and other admin commands. Friends using VR and AR can modify the map and server, and players can take a competitive or cooperative role. A free mobile AR companion app can be downloaded from the DUSTNET website. The game is available on PC, VR, and AR.
