Today Episode 1 version of Dark Trip – our Psychedelic VR Horror Escape Room – has hit release on Meta Store.

This update (the biggest since our Early Access started) concludes the work to make the game feel like a full featured product for our players despite the Early Access approach. Today’s Dark Trip version features:

• Full Content of Episode 1: Ten Carefully Crafted Rooms delivering roughly two hours of twisted escape room gameplay, where you solve puzzles by willingly shifting between sobriety and drug-induced hallucinations.
• Evidence Collection Mechanics. The mechanics of searching the clues adds depth to the story and encourages replayability. Dive into a dark, mind-bending story connecting Nazi experiments, psychedelic rituals, sadomasochistic imagery, occult science, and time travel.
• Improved Character Animations. The Early Access version of the “Medium” character has been replaced with a full featured model wearing provocative outfits and using high quality animations.
• Polished VR Locomotion System. Enjoy a complete movement options set that supports teleportation, smooth motion, joystick navigation, and roomscale interaction.
• Whole Lot of Eight Language Localizations. From now on the game is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Bulgarian and Russian.

We will continue improving the game and adding content to it. The work on Episodes 2 and 3 has already started! However if you get today’s version of the game, you will receive all the future updates for free. Full release of Dark Trip with all 3 episodes included is planned for summer 2026 for Meta Store, Steam and current gen consoles. Stay tuned. Thank you so much for your continuous support and constructive feedback!

Join Dark Trip’s Early Access on Meta Store or wishlist it on Steam.

Even though the subject is the "Coming Soon" page, Steam demanded a full demo game build. Without a full build check, Steam refused to give us permission to publish the page. The funniest and most absurd thing was that they demanded us to upload the build to SteamPipe. And SteamPipe refused to work properly before the first version of the page was approved. This was a vicious circle that we were able to break at the end. Wishlist the game!

With the latest update (v. 40), the long-awaited "Room with the Tree" has finally arrived. This unsettling space is filled with bizarre biotechnological machinery and disturbing remnants of dark experiments — which take an even more twisted turn when you consume in-game pills.

While we are approaching Early Access release, the game's audience starts growing. So we have set up an official Discord channel where Dark Trip players can discuss the game, give us feedback and post bug reports. Everyone is welcome to join: https://discord.gg/h5xnewgMXE
