Vote for Eye of the Temple in the Steam Awards!

Hi everyone! The Steam Awards are now LIVE, and I could really use your help. If you think Eye of the Temple is worthy of VR Game of the Year, I'd really appreciate your support here. Every vote counts!

While winning VR Game of the Year would be fantastic, just getting in the top five nominations would be huge as well.

I won't be telling you why you should consider nominating Eye of the Temple. I'll let the Steam reviews speak for themselves below the image! And boy do those reviews speak well for the game. Let me take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you once again for all your support!

Capturing the essence of over 100 reviews is no easy task, but I've put together the following summary, with links back to 27 of the original reviews. (If you see a lot of {LINK REMOVED}, click the title of this post.)

A slew of reviews highlight the uniqueness of the game, saying it’s “ a refreshing change to see a new game form in VR ”, that there’s “ nothing like this in VR ”, and that it’s an “ instant classic ”. Others write that it’s “ some of the most creative VR gameplay of any VR game ”, that it’s “ nothing short of genius ”, and that “ this dev is some sort of mad genius ”. Some write that it’s “ a revolution in Virtual Reality ” because “ the motion system is completely revolutionary ” and that it has the “ potential to create a whole new genre in VR-Games ”.

According to the reviewers, what makes it so innovative is that “ being able to actually walk through the entire game in your play space is just mind boggling and super immersive ”, making it “ one of those rare mind-blowing VR experiences ”. Some say that the game “ does otherworldly things with your mental perception ” that “ makes you forget you are in VR ” and that as a result, “ the immersion level is off the chart ” and it “ takes vr immersion to a new level ”.

For some reviewers, that level of immersion made this VR adventure the “ most ingenious and thrilling VR game ”, speculating that “ if Steven Spielberg or George Lucas made VR games instead of movies ... this is the VR game they would come up with ” because it “ captures perfectly the whole Indiana Jones vibe ”, so that “ if you want to feel like Indiana Jones, this is the closest you could ever get ”.

Overall, lots of reviewers say it’s “ one of the best VR experiences” and “ one of the greatest VR experiences of all time ”. Several focus on room-scale, calling it “ the best Roomscale VR Game ” they’ve played and the “ the best room scale experience out there ”. Some say it’s the “ 2nd best roomscale game ” next to Half-Life: Alyx and that they “ haven't had this much fun since playing Half Life Alyx ”. Others think Eye of the Temple surpasses it and is simply the “ best VR game ”. One reviewer didn’t limit it to VR and said: “ I’ve been playing video games for 30+ years, and finding ALL the secrets in Eye of the Temple was easily the most satisfying moment I’ve ever had in a game! ”.

I am blown away and humbled by the response. What do you say? Do a game that's described in these terms by so many reviewers deserve a nomination for VR Game of the Year? That's for you to decide!

All the best, Rune
