Buy Far Beyond: A space odyssey VR PC key

Far Beyond: A space odyssey VR is a peaceful virtual reality space-survival game that combines strategy, reflection, resource management and hands-on crafting. You play the last survivor of an extinct civilization, the Kapaye, and command the failing spaceship Genesis on a journey to Earth, a distant, primitive habitable planet with no intelligent life. Your goal is to reach it and deploy the E.D.E.N project, a demographic bomb containing the genomes and matrices of your lost civilization, to begin a new colony.

The journey

You plan routes through hyperspace, mark refueling points on the galactic map and manage the ship’s battery and autonomy. Every trip outside consumes battery power, so you need to plan travel and refueling to avoid a blackout. Fuel and construction ore are finite, and you scan and extract the resources needed to keep moving and maintain the ship’s oxygen-recycling system.

The probes

Two mechanically unreliable probes, Columbus and Digger Master, are kept in the ship’s hangars behind the command bay. You deploy them to detect, scan and extract resources on hostile planets, then repair and maintain them. You can recycle used parts and unlock, build and assemble more than 50 upgrades by hand, using the onboard ore synthesizer to improve the probes’ performance and wear resistance.

A changing challenge

Each new game takes place in a procedurally generated galaxy, with multiple random events. In the higher difficulty setting, one mistake restarts the game. Reaching a distant planetary system safely is your goal, while managing limited supplies, probe repairs and the ship’s autonomy along the way.

Virtual reality interaction

The interfaces are integrated into the environment, and you can grab, manipulate or throw objects you find. The game has no artificial locomotion or camera movement; motion-controller play is roomscale. Sound effects use spatialized 360-degree 3D audio.
