Fire from the sky: Cagliari 1943 VR is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Fire from the sky: Cagliari 1943 VR is a software application that shows you a VR video/machinima of some of the events in Cagliari in 1943 after the Italians saw what Nazi Germany was doing and said "Oh let us do that too".

For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game.

Fire from the sky: Cagliari 1943 VR is an Early Access Free VR history experience. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played poorly, sounded ok, not understandable.

Has no menu. Maybe try this only, if you understand Italian spoken and written.
