This game has an awesome concept of letting you play on your pc while someone is on VR locally, but, it just needs a little more work. The game felt slow paced and the controls were questionable. Not really worth the full price tbh

Containment Initiative, developed and published by Gwyn Games LLC, is a gritty and surprisingly ambitious VR zombie shooter that has carved out a loyal following thanks to its immersive gunplay, clever asymmetric co-op design, and tense survival-focused missions. Rather than relying on flashy visuals or elaborate storytelling, the game grounds its appeal in the tactile satisfaction of handling weapons under pressure and the adrenaline rush of holding back waves of undead in claustrophobic environments. It is a title that understands exactly what makes VR combat compelling—physical interaction, spatial awareness, and the constant presence of danger—and it uses those elements to build an experience that is both challenging and deeply engaging. A major part of the game’s identity comes from its unusual co-op structure. One player steps into a fully immersive VR role, engaging directly with zombies and completing mission objectives with a headset and motion controllers. Meanwhile, a second player can join via keyboard and mouse—either locally from the same PC or remotely through Steam Remote Play Together. This asymmetry is not a gimmick; it introduces a fascinating interplay of stren…

Lots of fun with a friend in local co-op using PC and VR. For that alone this game stands out. The rest is less flattering. Definitely has the feel of a low budget title, assets and maps aren't spectacular. In spite of that, there is some charm in the atmosphere. The design of objectives make it fun enough to replay for a while. Some considerable jank tho. I'm pretty sure achievements broke for me. I've played just a bit of the sequel now and it appears to be a noticeable step up in most regards. Still, for PC and VR local, there isn't much game in town, so I'd say buy this one on sale or in a bundle, like I did.

So glad i picked this up years ago for like $1, it really turned into into such a nice little shooter. Can remember playing it when it only had survival mode, and i was using a cheap headset. I Wasnt that impressed. Just tried it again today with a better one, and actually had a blast! the guns especially the Colt sound Great! such a nice pop to them. Getting headshots is Sooo satisfying. the scavenge mode is simple but man... So much fun. Game has a nice little upgrade system for gear and weapon mods. The Dev clearly put in love & Care into making this a nice little zombie shooter over the years. not much in the way of options, No graphics options at all. but atleast can change loco direction from controller to headset! FOR SURE recommend it even at full price! haven't played sequel.
