Some stories are better left in the dark. But some will find you. In Riese, echoes don’t always answer the same. A narrative FPP/VR experience about a past that refuses to stay silent.

About
A missing grandfather. A hotel with a past. Underground tunnels that refuse to stay buried.
„I got you... Wait. I’ve seen this place before.”
Anna returns to her family's old guesthouse in the Owl Mountains. Not for rest. For the truth.
rapped in a room, with a fogged mirror and a phone call from her mother, she triggers a chain of events that lead straight to “Projekt Riese” — a real, unfinished Nazi complex buried deep beneath Lower Silesia.
This is a free prologue of a narrative game where every click speaks. Every item means something. Every decision echoes.
🎙️ Anna speaks — you listen
You’re not a silent shell. You’re the protagonist — sarcastic, stubborn, sharp.
„Yesterday I was a quiet student. Today? A seasoned break-in artist.”
🧠 uzzles driven by context, not code
Open grandpa’s safe, find a hidden map, match piano tones to underground valves.
You think like Anna. You feel like Anna. That’s the key.
🌍 Real location, digital obsession
Hotel Szyprówka, photogrammetry, Lumen, Nanite — but the spotlight isn’t on tech. It’s on touchable atmosphere.

Художнику респект за проделанную работу.
The game is unoptimized, the graphics are the worst even on ultra settings, a bug at every step of the game is not possible to go beyond the second room, and if the developer uses Ai for voice acting, this should be indicated in the description of the game
gra fajna tylko nie wiem jak wyjść z tego domu w którym jesteśmy na początku gry

Игра "The Riese Project: Prologue" оставляет неоднозначное впечатление. Визуально проект выглядит привлекательно: мрачная атмосфера стимпанка передана отлично, модели персонажей и окружения детализированы. Сюжет, хоть и является лишь завязкой, интригует, обещая мрачную историю о противостоянии повстанцев и зловещей империи. Однако, геймплей кажется сырым и незавершенным. Боевая система ощущается скованной и нединамичной, а управление временами неудобным. Диалоги, хоть и пытаются создать атмосферу, иногда страдают от неестественности. В целом, "The Riese Project: Prologue" выглядит как перспективный проект, которому требуется доработка. Если разработчики исправят недостатки геймплея и улучшат взаимодействие с миром, полная версия может получиться весьма интересной. Пока же это лишь многообещающий, но сырой дебют. Потенциал есть, но требуется больше полировки.
Moja pierwsza recenzja na steam :) Generalnie polecam ten tytuł, może dlatego ze kocham Góry Sowie i miałem okazję zwiedzać cały kompleks Riese. Plusy: - Ładna grafika - Klimat Minusy: - Toporne sterowanie (grałem jako FPS) - Brak możliwości przypisania klawiszy (jestem leworęczny i przydałoby się) Być może te minusy zostaną poprawione w późniejszych Release
I like the enviroment the game is set in. The game´s stuttering is somewhat problematic even on more powerful graphics cards and with 64GB of RAM in VR.
Mega ;) widoki jak spod wielkiej Sowy ;)
Probado en Meta Quest 3S con una RTX 4070 y el juego apenas se puede mover en gráficos ''normal''. Injugable y tampoco se de que va el juego. Solo se que estuve 10 minutos intentando guardar la Notebook en la mochila y nunca supe como. Odio este tipo de juegos. Dame una linterna, por no decir arma y dejame explorar toda la zona. y no unos tutoriales que llevan toda la vida completar.
Waiting to put a positive review on this (I love the exploration stance in VR), and the EU5 lumen adds great visuals and mood for it, but for now The Riese Project Prologue (free version) won't work with Valve Index Controllers... (solo DEV said he will sort it out with next patch...), but the early access (paying version) is already working with Valve index controlers... if you want to support his work !
