About Altered Algorithm

Altered Algorithm: Episode 1 is a free VR experience introducing you back to a time of gaming simplicity and the excitement of unique experiences. This project has been in development for only 6 months by a small team of developers (including me, Nick DePalo), a community of amazing artists, and a group of filmmaking partners. We hope to build on this foundational endeavor of episodic adventures with your support. Our goal is to introduce new, interesting, and unique experiences to the world.

Welcome to an alternate LA, set in a futuristic 1983. You're either a militant or mercenary.

Jeremiah, our main protagonist lives in an alternate past where technology has already flourished for decades causing ALL risk to be mitigated. He's a hired "Field Adjuster" who's job is to hunt down any threats to make the world "SAFE" through the use of the most advanced AI Predictive software and Threat Analytics ever created with a new government program called... CASSI.

​CASSI, a "Centralized AI Safety Surveillance Infrastructure" is designed to serve, mitigate, and protect everyone and everything.

​When the A.I. Threat Algorithm Jeremiah relies on is infiltrated by Kenji Kimora, an infamous underground gang leader, an altered simulation unfolds, and it causes a system city lockdown beyond repair.

These events lead Jeremiah to embark on a journey within the simulation to explore the deep city slums of gangs, freewill, and the chaos of choice to discover the altered algorithm of who he truly is and needs to become.

There, Jeremiah is presented with the greatest risk ever encountered.... himself.

Watched the FastLawyer review on youtube and it looked fantastic. But I found it full of bugs (unseen characters speaking, unable to pick up dropped items, difficult moving around, some fuzzy visuals, etc.). Played on Quest3 via AirLink...maybe this needs a wired connection to the PC? It didn't seem to work at all on Virtual Desktop or SteamLink. I tried a few times and got a little further each time but couldn't get through without it crashing.

I could not get this game to play . The intro of the voice saying she needs to know what happened to her , the screen goes white except for the center which is a blue circle with a smaller circle and that's it and it'll just sit there and do that . I tried clicking everything I could think of to make it work , but it never did. I understand this might be an early access game,But I would think that it was at least be playable . I've got Windows 11 on my laptop , and using an Oculus Quest 3
