About Cosmodread

Cosmodread is the second VR horror game from White Door Games, the studio behind Dreadhalls, released in March 2021 for PC VR on Steam and for Meta Quest, and later for PlayStation VR2.

You wake aboard a spaceship that is falling apart. Each run lays out the rooms, corridors, items and hazards differently, so you cannot memorise it. With your own hands you open doors, drawers and lockers, gather basic materials, and craft weapons and equipment at fabricators: a crossbow, bolts, traps and more.

The horror is the dark and what lives in it. Something organic has grown over parts of the ship, and creatures move through it. Ammunition is scarce, so you crouch behind cover, set traps, or throw an object across a room to draw a creature away. Death ends the run.

It suits VR players who liked Dreadhalls and want more to do, with crafting and some fighting, and fans of the dread of Alien and Dead Space.

How to play Cosmodread

1. Wake aboard the ship and search the first rooms for supplies.
2. Open drawers and lockers by hand and collect materials.
3. Craft a crossbow, bolts and gear at the ship's fabricators.
4. Avoid or fight creatures: hide behind cover, set traps or throw objects to distract them.
5. Find what you need to bring the ship's systems back and head for Earth. If you die, start a new run.

Tips

• Do not waste bolts; distraction is often better than a fight.
• Search everything, crafting materials are your lifeline.
• Use the comfort settings that suit you; teleport and dash are available.
• Learn how each creature reacts to sound.
