Our take on Survival Denied
Menus are part of the VR environment: map and setting choices appear as objects that players approach and activate with a controller grip button.
What is Survival Denied?
Survival Denied is a VR-focused zombie shooter built around lasting as long as possible and pursuing high scores.
Weapons unlock as scores rise, while kills offer choices of perks that affect abilities or stats. Some zombies drop temporary power-ups, and five environments provide different settings for the fights. Menus and settings use objects in the VR scene rather than a conventional graphical interface. Players move with smooth locomotion and can choose smooth or snap turning. The game is in Early Access; its developers plan to add content and make gameplay changes based on player feedback.
