Our Development Journey


The past three years have been one hell of a ride. The global pandemic between 2020 and 2021 took us, like many other studios, by surprise. Transitioning to remote work posed its challenges, prompting us to adapt and revamp our workflow. However, adversity often brings strength, and our team emerged more cohesive and focused than ever.


Beginning with our Steam Alpha demo in 2021 and culminating in the 2023 SteamNext Fest Demo, we've taken every piece of feedback to heart, refining and enhancing the game. Our goal, ever since our time working on Sairento, was to push the boundaries of VR locomotion – and with Hellsweeper, we've poured everything we've learned and more.

What’s Next?


This launch is just another beginning for Hellsweeper VR. We still have a lot of plans lined up. Check them out below! Your feedback and support are pivotal, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts or even pitch us your ideas!



If you have enjoyed Hellsweeper VR, we will really appreciate it if you drop us a good review. Knowing that you had fun with Hellsweeper VR means a lot to us and greatly encourages the team. And if you think your friends would enjoy our game, don't forget to spread the word!

Devlog #10: Co-op Mode Deep-Dive!



Hey Hellsweepers!

We're almost at the finish line! Hellsweeper VR will be dropping in about three more weeks. It has been one hell of a long road and we simply cannot wait for everyone to experience everything the game has to offer.

Just last week, we released our co-op trailer, a mode that allows you to band together with a friend to descend into Hell. Today, we'd like to dive deeper into the game's co-op mechanics.

[h2]Watch the Video Here:[/h2]

[h2]What can you do in co-op mode?[/h2]
Apart from the primary objective - annihilating Hell's twisted souls together - we've compiled an FAQ list from questions posed by our cherished community on Discord. We believe this will help you get a better grasp of the co-op mechanics and the fun features we've integrated:

Q: Can I play Hellsweeper VR with my friends if they’re using another device?
A: We are aiming for crossplay across PCVR, Quest 2 and PSVR2.

Q: Will my teammate and I be presented with the same blessings, weapons, and boons?
A: No, each player is assigned distinctive blessings and boons to promote strategy and teamwork.

Q: Can I use or borrow my friend's weapons during gameplay?
A: Absolutely! Friends can borrow each other's weapons, like guns or swords. The weapon's level depends on the wielder's own progression, but the weapon's traits remain consistent. However, if a weapon requires bullets, you can't manually reload it unless you've equipped that specific skill.

Q: Can I combine my magic with my ally during gameplay?
A: Yes! For instance, if you're wielding a Volt ball and your friend has a fireball, you can combine them to produce powerful effects, like lasers. Collaboration can lead to some electrifying results!

Q: Can I infuse my friend’s weapons with magic?
A: Yes! Players can infuse each other's weapons with elemental magic. This means one player can focus on a full magic build, while the other hones in on weapon expertise. You can see this in action on our devlog video.



Q: Is there an option to reload a friend's gun?
A: If both players have equipped the reloading skill, they can indeed reload each other's guns. Though not the most efficient method, it's a fun tactic to try out!

Q: How does "bullet time" work in co-op?
A: It's similar to how it works in our first game Sairento VR. Activating bullet time in co-op only affects the enemies within the bullet time bubble.

Q: Most importantly… can I pet my friend’s Hellhound?
A: Players can definitely pet an ally's hellhound. But be aware, the hellhound stays loyal and only obeys its original owner, the one who equipped it during skill selection.



[h2]Accessibility and Options[/h2]



To ensure everyone can customize all settings to their comfort, Hellsweeper VR offers a wide range of accessibility options ranging from rotation, somersault speed and even tunelling.

All options are saved in your individual settings so all players are able to experience the game within their own comfort levels. Don't forget to set these up on your first startup!

VR will not be limited to the platform your friend plays.

[h2]So are ready to team up and go through Hell together?[/h2]

[h3]WISHLIST OR PRE ORDER HELLSWEEPER VR[/h3]
Hellsweeper VR is now open for pre-orders on Steam, Meta Quest 2 and PSVR2!
