of P.O.L.L.E.N, offering a first-person exploration game for Windows
along with a "near-final" beta of the VR edition of the game for Oculus Rift

support, with remaining VR optimizations expected to arrive as a free update

captivatingly atmospheric journey through a seemingly abandoned lunar station on
standard displays, as well as a deeply immersive and engaging dive into a fully
detailed virtual reality world in which nearly every object may be interacted

and secrets lurking within this 5-8-hour voyage.
Inspired by the existential suspense and retro futuristic designs of science
fiction classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris and more, P.O.L.L.E.N
transports players to the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. Set in an
alternate future where the space race between the U.S. and Soviets never ended
and mega corporations colonize the solar system, players must investigate the
disappearance of one of the station’s crew members on the eve of a historic
discovery.
P.O.L.L.E.N is available today with Oculus Rift support on Windows PC through
Steam, GOG.com, the Humble Store and Playfield for $24.99. It is expected to
