Our take on Pyramid VR
The classic text-adventure premise is less central to the current play pattern, which focuses on exploring areas, collecting treasure, and solving a few puzzles. The developers also describe a rebuild of the artwork, controls, and interactions, with a beta planned after a level is completed.
What is Pyramid VR?
Pyramid VR adapts the 1978 Tandy adventure Pyramid 2000 as a graphical VR exploration game.
Instead of typing commands, players reach for objects and use them in the environment. The game includes a map, inventory cycling, treasure to collect, and a small number of puzzles in a tomb setting. A torch uses fuel, with oil cans and matches available for refueling or relighting it. The project began as a non-VR game and was converted for room-scale play. The developers say they are rebuilding it with new artwork, controls, and rewritten interactions; they plan to add a beta build after completing a level.
