Technolust

Poor support for Vive... Uh, I mean no support for the Vive although the dev was 'working on it' last year.

the shortest game ive ever played. (around 2 hours without the arcade games) animations are practically non-existant. (not even lip movement - everybody is wearing masks) story is very light (some dialogue hard to understand) and a mish-mash of various sci-fi cliches. gameplay: some mini-games, the game itself is not a game but rather a walk-by. one or two nice looking locations. 3 Dollar would be too much if you ask me.

(Have to point out first up that I've played this game for hours but it doesn't log that in Steam as I run it directly from the EXE.) Just wanted to say I love this game. I play it on the Vive with Revive and it works perfectly with a gamepad controller (the way it was intended). YouTube videos of this game got me very excited for VR before the Vive was available, which I watched multiple times, and when I finally decided to get this and try it with Revive it was practially a spiritual experience and I'm not kidding. It has really great atmosphere and a phenomenal electronic soundtrack (it's up on Bandcamp if you're interested) not to mention sound design. I've been listening to the OST in my car for two weeks. This game is somewhat like a point and click adventure in some ways, but then has well crafted arcade-paced sections as well. Amazing it was practically all made by one person (I believe?). If you like the cyberpunk asthetic in general then you might get a little obsessed with wanting to live in this game world. It's not a super long game, maybe a few hours, but there is a lot of detail and different areas. With an actual narrative you care about. Definitely worth y…

Technolust, developed and published by IRIS VR Inc., is one of those early VR titles that understood the medium’s strengths long before the industry fully caught up. Rather than attempting to mimic traditional flat-screen gameplay or overwhelm players with movement-heavy systems, it embraces presence, environmental storytelling, and sensory immersion as its core design philosophy. Set in a grim yet seductive cyberpunk future, the game immediately establishes a palpable sense of place—neon-lit streets drenched in rain, decaying megacorporate architecture, oppressive propaganda, and living spaces filled with analog relics of imagined futures. The world feels nostalgic and forward-looking at the same time, echoing the visual language of Blade Runner, Neuromancer, and 1980s tech culture, yet filtered through VR’s intimate perspective. Technolust doesn’t just show you a dystopia—it invites you to sit inside it, breathe it in, and poke at its edges. The premise itself is intentionally familiar, acting more as a springboard for exploration than a tightly structured narrative. You play as a lone citizen-turned-hacker navigating a world controlled by a monolithic corporation that exerts in…

To be able to jack yourself into Technolust is truly awesome. It's a great mix of cyperpunk and sci-fi. The locations you wander through are really cool. From seedy safe houses to seedier city streets and all the while interacting with robots that call you "maker", it really immersed me. The discription of it being an interactive visual novel is spot on. This isn't running, jumping, and shooting and it didn't need to be. If you like cyberpunk and sci-fi wrapped up in a dark, edgy atmosphere, then you have to play through this. Even if you wait for a sale.

First, as with everyone else, ran from the .exe so the time in game is wrong. I really enjoyed this game. The graphics are pleasing, the plot exists, and it's very atmospheric. It scratched the cyberpunk itch very well, and the arcade games are pretty entertaining. On the down side, the bloom is a it much, the lighting is inconsistant, and it is really, really short. There is a collectable hunt thing you can do, and I'll probably go back, but I think I spent something like 3-4 hours ingame. The truly absurd amount of references cramed into the game became glaring near the end, but it didn't hurt the game too much. The studder-step mechanism for preventing motion sickness was annoying, but it did work very well. All in all, this is one of the strongest VR titles on Steam. (although you'll have to play it outside of Steam and use Revive to get it in VR)
