About Sommad
Sömmad gets you on an adventure in a self-overlapping VR maze to find a diamond with help of your friends outside VR. In this local multiplayer, walk freely in a large VR maze, make decisions with friends, and challenge your guiding skills using a mazy map!
The maze and map in the game are built with a core mechanic of “self-overlapping architectures”, which allows users to freely walk and explore the large VR maze without any teleportation required! This freedom to walk makes it easy to forget that the play area is bound to only a small 2.5m x 2.5m space. For an even greater, engaging experience, the game asymmetrically includes all friends outside VR and challenges them to direct the person in VR using a map of the maze.
The game was designed and created as an experiment of VR self-overlapping architectures and local low-budget social VR. It has been played by visitors at Aalborg’s main library that greatly enjoyed it, and therefore we wanted to share this experience with the rest of the world on Steam.
Sömmad is made by Sule Serubugo, Denisa Skantarova and Nicolaj Evers with supervision of Martin Kraus. We hope you enjoy walking in VR and get to find the diamond :)

Ingeniously made game, definitely check it out.1 found this helpful
Игра "Соммад" — это увлекательная головоломка с элементами стратегии. Простой, но цепляющий геймплей заставляет мыслить быстро и логично. Графика минималистична, но стильно выполнена, а музыка создает атмосферу напряжения. Однако сюжет слабоват, и повторяемость заданий вызывает усталость. Подойдет тем, кто любит тренировать мозг в перерывах.
Quirky game to have in your library if you want to play VR with friends. Prepare to get your wire twisted if playing on Valve Index (download "turn signal" to mitigate that).
[h1] …
a very short game it's good game, but you will need at least 2.5m x 2.5m of play area and it have just one maze
First off, I played the game and it requires a solid 10 ft x 10 ft of free space, because there are no movement controls. You have to physically walk around the entire game. I don't have that free space(who does?????), so it was unplayable for me and my friend. I'd have to empty my living room to play it lol. Worst though: Every time I connected my oculus to my computer after playing this game once, it crashed my entire headset. I eventually found out it was this game causing it, and I had to just delete the game from my library. Also, pretty boring game (from what we could actually play).
