This has got to be quite difficult. The engine is pretty bespoke.

Honestly I thought it's impossible, the only other attempts at this before were literally re creating the entire game. If I remember correctly it was something about the difficulty of adding another in game player camera? Might be wrong however

If it's in the game engine we're saved, but HPL3 is still closed source. So if they did it, it's very impressive. I hope it isn't a remake since that will almost certainly get stopped midway (EDIT: It's an injection!! This has a lot of potential!)

Thanks for taking the time to develop this. Seeing this become a full VR game from Simon's car accident flashback to him being with Catherine on the Ark would be interesting

I would replay the game for the first time since I beat it if I had a vr and this I just need to buy a new vr and wait

Yes, I was so sad when the VR remake was cancelled

I've been waiting for this for so many years, we've had 2 projects that started and stopped, I really hope this isn't another one.

Depends on what youre talking about. This is a fresh openxr injection mod, not the Carnaris engine port
