Side projects are great! And harder than you’d think
Fairly Certain Doom started out as a spec project between jobs for a few guys at a previous company before I started working there. When I started, they had new client work and this was put on the back burner. I brought all the pieces together and pushed it out the door. 5/5 positive reviews from 5 people on Steam!

FAQ
Oculus Support?
The game currently has support for Oculus. For future adaptations, we’re looking into Vive, Oculus GO and Gear VR.
Is This Game Scary?
Kinda sorta, more like ‘delightfully suspenseful’ or ‘pleasantly jumpy’. This is definitely not a horror type of VR game, those are the worst for your nerves, where you think you’re gonna get murdered around the next turn. No, this is more like the “No freaking way this is happening to me” kind of game, and then you giggle, there’s maybe going to be some giggling.
Locomotion Options?
Nope! While you’ll be able to interact with stuff, we don’t believe in just letting you wander around on your own, that’s way to risky. So imagine you’re glued to the floor and trying to figure out what the hey’s going on using your eyes and hands.
