About Life of Lon: Chapter 1
A Fantastical Science Fantasy Journey into Another World
As the protagonist Lon, you awake from hypersleep just in time to encounter a space anomaly that sends your ship careening towards an alien planet called Paracosma. You awaken from the crash- now deep beneath the alien waves. You encounter a beautiful and curious creature that seems to only bark "Yep." Yep appears to want you to follow- reacting to your movements and actions. Perhaps Yep will come in handy when it comes to finding some way to power up your ship.
The Seated Adventure Game
We decided to create a vast journey-esque experience that can be enjoyed sitting down. The navigation and interaction don’t require a great deal of head or arm movement, meaning players with disabilities will have an easier time playing.
Yep
Yep is your friendly alien companion that will help you understand and navigate this foreign world.
An Original Score
Every composition in Life of Lon has been carefully constructed to flow with the narrative and push the player to new emotional heights.
An All Ages Story
A minimal amount of violence is written into the story- and it carries weight and consequences.
Text-free Storytelling
Players from around the world will be able to enjoy it without knowing English.
A Thoughtful VR Game
A Focus on environment puzzles, atmosphere and exploration rather than killing, high scores, and gimmicks. Writing always takes the front seat.
Innovations in Comfort
Tested on hundreds of people, our approach includes a glowing half-orb that anchors the player to the world, field of view darkening during turning, comfortable movement speed, and primarily forward locomotion. We hope to see other developers creating seated adventure games like this in the future.

Игра 'Life of Lon: Chapter 1' предлагает трогательное и атмосферное приключение, погружающее в мир после катастрофы. Визуальное исполнение в стиле low-poly создает уникальную и даже медитативную атмосферу, несмотря на мрачность сеттинга. Сюжет, хотя и не блещет оригинальностью, заставляет задуматься о проблемах глобализации и экологии через историю одинокого рейнджера Лона, пытающегося выжить и найти ответы. Геймплей прост и сфокусирован на исследовании, сборе ресурсов и взаимодействии с окружением. Боевая система минималистична, что подойдет не всем. Несмотря на некоторую монотонность и короткую продолжительность, первая глава оставляет приятное впечатление благодаря своей атмосфере и меланхоличному повествованию. Определенно стоит ознакомления, если вы цените атмосферные игры с акцентом на сюжет и не ждете динамичного экшена.

Beautiful short experience with a lot of untapped potential. The one an only chapter in his version has intrigue, a beautiful music score, a clever control scheme an small puzzle before abruptly ending. I doubt it'll ever be update at this point since it's been out for 7 years at the time of writing, but if Block Interval ever decides to pick this back up I'll be towards the font of the line
Thought this would be good. And it looked good. I have a Rift, and the controls was bad. I could only turn right by pushing up with the right stick. And move forward at a an angle, rather than strait forward by pushing up with the left stick. I was able to open and get over the wall, but moving over the bubbles, and go over the wall was hard, due to the bad controls. I liked the sea thing that was trying to guide me. As is, I can't recommend this game. If there was a full paid version, I would get it, provide that the controls worked.
