AXIOMATIK
A really interesting concept. You're in a pitch black room and have to use a bouncy ball light gun to find your way to the exit. Some stuff isn't clearly explained, but could be a fun limited time game. - WISHLISTED

PROTON VR
Clearly inspired by Compound, but frankly an inferior version of it offering nothing new from what I played. Interminably slow walking speed and some dodgy enemy AI holds this back, but it's still enough to keep an eye on - WISHLISTED
store.steampowered.com/app/3143930/...
DETECTIVE VR
A port of a hand-tracked MR Quest game with node teleport (blech) & reasonable controller accommodations for the original hand-tracking. Like the concept, but dropped a polaroid beneath the ground and couldn't retrieve. - WISHLISTED (need patches)

Got knocked off from the Top 10 of my own game's leaderboard. Feels great because that means people have actually put in time and effort!😊

ROAD TO YVHALON
On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes, but let down by a weird parry mechanic where you have to turn the sword upside down to block. One to watch at least. - WISHLISTED

Filed to @uploadvr.com earlier, Zombie Army VR is dropping its co-op mode at the end of March due to Unity sunsetting its multiplayer service.
All Unity devs that use the software were informed of this upcoming change in December of last year and have until March 31 to transition to a new service.
I had a great time with Fixer Undercover! Grab jank aside, an easy recommend for puzzle lovers. 🧩
PC VR and PSVR2 peeps, wishlist this one for later this year! 🔨
Article linked below and video review up now on UploadVR’s YT.
A free Hitman World of Assassination Elusive Target mission starring Milla Jovovich from the Resident Evil films is available to play until March 24.

TAMMUZ BLOOD & SAND
A stationary puzzle game I can play from my chair is always welcome. If you like a good chill brain teaser, you'll enjoy this. There's a story here, but my brain was too fried from the puzzle to absorb it.

THAT'S MY TOFU
You know the worse thing to do to a VR player? Make them stand around and do nothing. That's this demo. Drop an ingredient, wait, serve ingredient, drop another, wait again. Occasionally "defend" the pot. Bit bland. - PASS

ALLIANCE FRONTIER
As an old X-Wing & Wing Commander player, I wanted to like this more than I did. It's okay, just needs a fair amount of refinement with the combat. Liked it enough to keep it on my radar. - WISHLISTED
store.steampowered.com/app/4212870/...
THE AMUSEMENT
A roomscale puzzle game that, based on this demo, doesn't need to be roomscale. That aside, VERY intrigued to play more. See my article on UploadVR for more. - WISHLISTED
store.steampowered.com/app/3867610/...
ISLE OF FOOD
Textbook example of BAD onboarding. No tutorial. Just drops in and figure it out. Half the materials you need aren't in the kitchen, so I failed 3 orders in a row. Off the charts grab jank. I gave up after 10mins. - PASS

PROJECT LOUISIANA - THE BOUNDS
Didn't get far enough in for the proper scares to happen, but nails it on atmosphere alone, including a creepy companion character. One for Spooktober month this fall. - WISHLISTED

CONFINED: LEAVING OKB-134
Ever played The Bunker series? Clear inspiration for this. Contrived "stupid for the sake of the plot" MC & stiff grab jank aside, I dug this. It oozes atmosphere and had me creeped out just on aesthetic alone. - WISHLISTED store.steampowered.com/app/3195810
TMNT: EMPIRE CITY Great demo that gives you the personality of all 4 turtles & gives enough combat & parkour to feel like you know the game. Check my article on UploadVR for a more detailed breakdown - WISHLISTED store.steampowered.com/app/3713650/...

Alright, time for the first 2026 VR Next Fest thread!
PLUG PRIORITY
You connect phone calls on an old-timey switchboard. Done after 12 calls in ~3mins. There's not enough game here and what IS here isn't compelling - PASS

New article up. I've played some GREAT roomscale VR like Eye of the Temple & of course Space Pirate Trainer.
At least in this demo, The Amusement doesn't feel like it needs roomscale. That aside, a strong demo for a narrative based puzzle game. Love these games in VR.
Give it a go!
This was a terrific, perfectly made demo. Gives just enough of the game to leave me longing for the full release.
Check out my full article and play the demo on Steam before Next Fest ends on March 2.

Crossings, a Norse afterlife roguelite from @NeatCorp, has added crossplay across Steam & Meta. Dev notes linked below.

Star Fox polygonal flat shaded action
Geograph Seal polygonal flat shaded action
33 years ago, the wonderful Star Fox was released on Super Nintendo, an incredible leap into 3D for home consoles tks to the SuperFX chip.
I had no clue Geograph Seal had done this (and more) on the X68000 two years prior.
It would form the basis for PlayStation’s 1995 launch title Jumping Flash!
I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.
