A meticulous, hands-on historical simulation of early spaceflight that feels like stepping into a museum exhibit you can operate.

What players say

Players praise the historical accuracy and immersive VR experience of Mercury missions, but many warn the solo-developed game was abandoned in an unfinished state with no updates since 2021. Desktop players report unchangeable keyboard controls and poor visuals, while VR users face compatibility problems with Index and WMR headsets. Opinions split on value given the short 30-minute gameplay.
