!!!PLEASE READ!!!

This is a 4 PLAYER VR CO-OP GAME!  We are using free Photon Pun 2 servers to run the game at the moment, this means we have limited server space.
To play, an internet connection IS REQUIRED!

There are only 2 lobbies in the game, both can house up to 4 players each. 

The game is preferred to be played with 4 players, but the first episode CAN BE COMPLETED ALONE, but it is very difficult.

*** YOU MAY ENCOUNTER ISSUES IF PLAYERS DISCONNECT MID-EPISODE ***
If you run into issues with the game, restarting the game and lobby will fix it.

Current issues we are aware of...

  1. Player(s) disconnecting may cause AI to not function. (Fix - Restart)
    The AI logic runs on the host. There is no host migration implemented, so the AI will cease to function. Disconnecting clients may sometimes cause the AI to stop functioning, the reason is unknown.
  2. Objects in other player inventories are offset from their holsters. (Fix - None)
    This is a small limitation with Photon which we need to find a workaround for.
    This doesn't affect core gameplay but is a bit jarring to look at.
  3. A player is not in the spawn room when entering the episode. 
    (Fix - Restart and re-initialize your VR standing position)
    The player is not close to the center of their play space.

I have an Oculus 2 but I don't have a PC. Can I download this directly onto my Quest 2? sorry to be asking such a basic question.

Sorry! This is PC VR only. This game was made as a college capstone project and we didn't have enough Oculus Quest 2's to play in 4 player co-op, so we opted for PC VR.

We're glad that you took a look at our game!
There is a gameplay video in the comments below, and  a few more videos if you look at the YouTube channel itself.

Cool, thank you!

Breach Protocol VR has been updated to version 1.03. 
The following changes have been made...

  1. All grabbable objects are now indicated by a green dot when the player's hand is able to grab it.
  2. Holding the secondary activation button (X or A on Oculus or pressing in the touchpad on HTC) no longer continuously reloads weapons. 
    Users using the revolver found themselves frequently holding the button to pull back the revolver and proceeding to reload it by mistake,  this is no longer the case.
  3. The grenade holsters on each player now are able to hold all grenades rather than specific grenades. This is a temporary change as we plan on replacing grenades with a more consistent form of projectile utility.

For those who do not own a VR headset, here is a gameplay preview!
