Overview
Description

Pollen is a first‑person exploration game set on Saturn’s moon Titan, where you investigate the abandoned Research Station M and uncover the fate of its crew. The game blends science‑fiction storytelling with atmospheric world‑building, drawing inspiration from classics like Solaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Optimized for the Oculus Rift and other VR headsets, Pollen offers multiple comfort movement modes, fully interactable environments, and a narrative that unfolds without forced camera cuts or jump scares, allowing players to experience Titan at their own pace.

Red Steel 2 is a first-person action-adventure game that places players in the boots of the unnamed hero, the last member of the Kusagari clan. After being dragged across the desert and stripped of his katana by Payne, the leader of the Jackals gang, the hero must fight his way through a harsh frontier town to reclaim his honor and his weapon. Combining intense first-person katana combat with fast-paced firearm action, the game utilizes motion controls to deliver precise 1:1 sword swings. Players will rescue allies like their former swordsmaster Jian, explore stylized desert environments, and unleash devastating combos against waves of ruthless enemies in a unique wild-west meets samurai setting.
