oldbroad, I really liked Papetura. It's a work of art and plays smoothly. If you ever get in the mood for the color scheme, it's worth an afternoon of gaming.

Thanks Ana. There have been many games I thought I wouldn't buy but after a while, I did. This will probably be one of them.

Marian, I looked all over the net, the reviews, walksthoughs, the discussions Board and it's website, even named wanderervr.com, and could find nothing on the game playing Standard / VR. It's only VR. Steam needs to correct it's page. There is no notice "Requires a virtual reality headset" and change "VR Supported" to "VR ONLY". Very misleading. It sounds like a very good game and the fact I have a VR setup I will get it. There are others who might think standard and end up with a return or worse wait 2 weeks to play it only to find out they can't and then have to deal with loosing $40

Thank you. Your post got me needing to find out and correct that link if wrong...Done




Played 2 times huh...Well it will be the first downloaded and played




Well just think....by the time you play/replay those other Myst games this excellent "state of the art" Myst should be on sale 90% off

Myst - I have all the others and am trying to get to playing / replaying those. If I ever do, and they go well, I might try this version also.

That's the plan

Orion, the game states VR all over the place on Steam.

Under minimum requirements - Steam VR

Under long description: Built from the ground up for VR

Under short description: Built from the ground up for VR

Under popular tags: Popular user-defined tags for this product:
Adventure Action Time Travel VR Puzzle+

On their website: A story-driven time travel VR adventure

It seems like they have it covered.

Yes Ana vr is all over the place. I was trying to find out if The Wanderer played in both Standard and VR. On Steam's page down on the right its states "VR Supported" which means yes it plays both. If only VR it would state "VR only". If VR only there would be this notice in a red box right above the price stating: "Notice: Requires a virtual reality headset. See system requirements for more information." Not seeing that notice and it stating "VR Supported" right away I believed it ran in both and had it posted that way after The Wanderer link I posted. I needed to correct that the game is VR only, not both

Orion, did you see this thread? Steam Discussion

Ana, I'm not sure why this game is having a problem, and of course don't know if other games are having the same problem. I see the thread in your link shows that it is an old bug but I see many games that do have the red box with this statement in it: "Notice: Requires a virtual reality headset. See system requirements for more information." And I've seen a lot of VR games that say they can be played without VR also. This game is a bit unclear.

I have no idea what the "open XR" is. I've never seen that one.

I'm finding it fairly confusing too. I don't do VR, but still... it doesn't seem clear at all.

I've read that "Thread" now Ana, thank you. Apparently they are aware of the issue. Why has it not been corrected by now who knows. For anyone who wants to play The Wanderer "Standard" I am sure are scratching their head. I did not mention this earlier but when a game is VR Supported, runs in both standard and VR, there should be a notice as well stating: "Notice: This title runs in both standard and VR modes. It does not require a VR headset." The Wanderer has no notice at all. It is confusing. One can see the difference between the two VR plays looking at these two games:

Myst - VR Supported, plays both

Red Matter - VR Only

Here is a list of games VR Supported and VR ONLY to take a look at as well

All in all I just did not want to steer someone in the wrong direction thinking they could play standard but in all reality would not be able to

*******

Nice plan OB

I was confused also. A friend gave me this game... when I checkesd it out it showed VR but did not have the disclaimer of you must have a headset as did some of the other. Not wanting to download 30gb's I went to their discord and asked them.... yep only can be played with a headset.... guess another reason to get one... I am thinking of waiting till the updated 3's come out.
