The Existence Abstract is a VR shooter with rogue-like elements built from the ground up for the HTC VIVE. Jump straight into the Abstract and begin your journey, but be wary as permadeath is ever present in each playthrough. Playthroughs are short, but different every run giving a new experience each time. Follow your intuition to navigate through a grid-like maze. Use your skill to dodge traps and enemies. Let luck guide you through the items you find. Show fierce determination in the face of the bo̴̱̟̓ͥs̹̺͘s̭͛es you will face. Do what you can to get through the labyrinth that is the 61 62 73 74 72 61 63 74.
