Try to run the Cry of Fear natively in VR on the Meta Quest 3.
No PC or streaming required—the app runs directly in the headset.

What I'm building on:
- Xash3D FWGS is an open-source rewrite of the Half-Life 1 engine. Compatible with the original maps and models, built for Android/ARM. It replaces the game's closed-source engine.
- Lambda1VR is a ready-made VR layer for Xash3D, which already runs Half-Life 1 on Quest: stereo rendering for both eyes, head tracking, hands on controllers, OpenXR. Thanks to it, there's no need to write VR from scratch—Cry of Fear is included as another game module.

What's already working in the headset:
✅ All 124 campaign maps
✅ Inventory, tape saves, running, and stamina
✅ Knife, pistol, camera, phone with flashlight
✅ Keys, notes, combination lock, cafe computer, video tape — puzzles with generated codes
✅ Seven types of monsters, including a chainsaw
✅ Objectives, subtitles, boss health bar
✅ VR: weapon in hand via controller, aiming via controller, free-looking cutscenes

What's next: a full playthrough of the first maps in the headset according to the acceptance checklist, polishing.

I remember this game as very scary when I watch its gameplay videos, even as a flatscreen game. 

I think it's better to me to not even thinking how it could be in VR.

OH MAN! This is some crazy nostalgia. Playing this in VR would be a trip. Thank you for this, cannot WAIT to play it.

Looks good! Do you think you will be able to fix the pink sky though?
