Monday’s not so boring this time!!
We are so excited to announce, that Bean Stalker is NOW Available on Steam!
Forget everything that you knew about VR games and explore the magical world of the Bean Stalker.

Greetings, Future Stalkers!
In preparation for release, we will be holding a Closed Beta Weekend from the 10th of September.
The game already provides a complete experience but lacks some final touches and can be expanded with further content updates. Our aim is to expand and reach the fullest potential of Bean Stalker with the help of our community’s feedback. We want our players to have an impact on the final game, by engaging them in conversation.
Working with player feedback is the main reason why we provide Closed Beta. Since we are working with a small team, community feedback is needed to reach the fullest potential of our game.
You can join our Discord community here: https://discord.gg/B7eeKEVy92
