About

A lone wanderer on the edge of space, a mystery as old as the universe itself, and one little robot who just wants to make the tea. Into Black is a First-Person VR action adventure that takes you into the depths of a mysterious alien planet. Explore the endless darkness, mine valuable resources, and fight off alien beasts solo or co-op with up to three friends, as you try to repair your ship and escape.

Single or Co-op action: Play the entire campaign with up to 3 friends, or just jump in for an epic solo adventure.
Fight to survive: Deadly alien creatures lurk in the darkness; to survive you'll have to master an array of powerful weapons.

WOW! My first impression was, holy ****! The controls are just PERFECT! Why can't all VR games have controls like this?! The game is awesome and I love it. But if that wasn't enough, this game also made my Christmas! I have no family and I'm sitting home alone on Christmas. But seeing the hovering robot wearing a Christmas hat was awesome. But then when I returned to the ship after my first mission, the ship was filled with PRESENTS AND CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!!!! Dev's, you guys made my Christmas! You really did! That was just amazing and made me smile and laugh bc I was so bummed! Now I am happy! THANK YOU! You made my day. ;
Unplayable on the classic HTC Vive controllers with no way to rebind controls.

Good graphics with detailed textures, smooth framerate and motion. The game itself became boring very quickly. It is grind-oriented, similar to deep rock galactic, but more primitive. Cave mushroom gathering simulator in space setting. Combat music is uninspired and flat. Enemies are just braindead puppets. Robot companion is annoying cliche sideckick.
Very fun VR game, some of the heights and falls will make your stomach drop (in a good, immersion type of way). Gun play is solid and upgrading and progression nails the feeling of getting stronger. Love the environment, music, ambiance, as well as customization of your character. Lots of options. Highly recommend!
A well-optimized game? Running at 90 fps with ultra resolution and graphics settings? Without framerate drops? In VR??? Seriously?? I'm tired of all these early VR releases with games that are poorly optimized and have completely broken gameplay mechanics. It's clear that Into Black is an exception to the rule. I highly recommend this title. It has everything going for it. I wish this level of quality were the standard in VR, but I gave up on that front a long time ago.
At first glance this did not seem to interest me. I'm glad I took a chance and picked it up. Very satisfying exploration and acceptable combat. Definitely a recommend for something less demanding yet still engaging and fun. Really well put together VR game.
we mine for ROCK AND STONE
feels like a story driven deep rock galactic, i like it
This is genuinely one of the most innovative VR games I have ever played. Everything from the movement system to the dynamic "mini" map to Thor's pickaxe all being things that feel like evolutions on what we've come to expect from VR as a digital medium. Into Black feels like a step in the right direction toward bringing VR out of the monotonous shovel-ware that continues to plague the gaming industry and innovating on what is possible. If I have but one small complaint, it is that the game eventually does feel like a tech demo for a much larger project. I can only hope that the devs take what they have put in motion with this game to new heights or at least this can serve as an example to be built upon by other developers. All in all definitely worth the time and money invested and I can't wait to see what comes next.
Into Black – это тот самый глоток свежего воздуха, которого так не хватало в мире VR! Мир здесь довольно разнообразный: от бурлящих магмовых пещер до сияющих инопланетных артефактов – каждый биом продуман до мелочей. Благодаря динамическому освещению и обновлённой графике создаётся ощущение, что ты действительно находишься на таинственной планете на краю галактики. Геймплей – лёгкий, но увлекательный: добываешь ресурсы, улучшаешь снаряжение, разгадываешь, что же случилось на этой планете до тебя, и отбиваешься от местных тварей. Боёвка простая и, что немаловажно для VR, не укачивает! Сюжет, конечно, не «Интерстеллар», но подан с душой: ты – обычный космический мусорщик с забавным роботом-помощником, который мечтает всего об одном – заварить чай... Но вместо этого попадаешь в эпическую историю тайн, древних артефактов и исчезнувших цивилизаций. Да, мультиплеер пока пустоват – найти случайную компанию практически нереально. Но если у вас есть друзья с VR-гарнитурами – обязательно зовите их! Играть вместе, собирать ресурсы и отбиваться от инопланетной живности гораздо веселее. Into Black – это не просто игра, а событие. Разработчикам – огромное спасибо и респект за то, что создали качественный, красивый и по-настоящему иммерсивный VR-проект в 2025 году. Как и в любой свежей игре, есть пара мелких багов – например, иногда объекты висят в воздухе или враги ползают под землёй, – но они не портят впечатления и абсолютно не мешают наслаждаться игрой. Если у вас есть VR – берите без раздумий. Вы не просто покупаете игру... Вы садитесь в корабль, терпите крушение – и становитесь частью тайны, скрытой в глубинах чужой планеты.
