How it feels

A calm, spatial puzzle experience where you methodically flag and clear mines in a fully manipulable 3D space.

What players say

A 3D take on minesweeper that fans of the original enjoy but players split on the controls, some find them fine, others say they are awkward without a chord feature. Performance is heavy, e.g., hitting 70-80% GPU load on a 1070, and the game requires VR hardware, not a regular PC.
