About the Game

A lone wanderer on the edge of space, a mystery as old as the universe itself, and one little robot who just wants to make the tea. Into Black is a First-Person VR action adventure that takes you into the depths of a mysterious alien planet. Explore the endless darkness, mine valuable resources, and fight off alien beasts solo or co-op with up to three friends, as you try to repair your ship and escape.

  • Single or Co-op action: Play the entire campaign with up to 3 friends, or just jump in for an epic solo adventure.

  • Fight to survive: Deadly alien creatures lurk in the darkness; to survive you'll have to master an array of powerful weapons.

  • Fully voice-acted campaign: Follow deep space scavenger Ben Mitchell and his hapless assistant droid as they are drawn into a mystery at the heart of the universe.

  • Discover unique biomes: Navigate magma chambers, sunken caves, labyrinthine tunnels, alien nests, and more.

  • Gather resources & upgrade tools: Mine, scavenge and loot as you gather the resources you need to upgrade your character and repair your ship.

Transformed for PC, Into Black takes immersion to a whole new level with a host of cutting-edge enhancements:

  • Remastered Environments – Every hand-crafted cave has been meticulously upgraded with enhanced geometry, water, new details, and richer textures for a deeper, more atmospheric world.

  • Dynamic Real-Time Lighting & Shadows – Now featuring full real-time shadows, from the flickering glow of your torch in single-player to the chaotic interplay of lights and shadows in multiplayer.

  • A host of PC options - Discrete control over render scale, shadows, lighting etc. to maximize your gaming experience.

  • "Singularity" PvPvE mode: Face off against up to 11 other players in this online competitive mode. Forge uneasy alliances as you navigate an ever-shrinking maze. Gather as much loot as you can, but get too greedy and you may not make it out at all…

Step into the depths of Into Black like never before on Steam VR!
