Catastrophic Inversion is a shared-space multiplayer VR shooter.
Bring it to any gym-sized space to really walk around the entire map.
Face off against your friends in Team Deathmatch, Free-For-All, and Capture-The-Flag in more than 10 PVP arenas where elevators and gondolas carry you beyond the physical limits of your space.
Team up or go it alone in the demo level for the upcoming Adventure Mode, where you navigate a 5-story building, fight computer-controlled enemies, complete objectives, and escape before time runs out.
Alignment is handled entirely within the Quest headset: it requires no external sensors or equipment (other than adequate Wi-Fi coverage to connect the devices anywhere in the space for a local networked game).
Reviews
So much fun, an absolute blast! ...The fact that they pulled this off seems like a miracle.
Consistent Wi-Fi coverage throughout your space to facilitate a connection between devices over the local network. (Internet access recommended, but not required. You could bring a home router and operate offline.)
A mid-range gaming laptop with the Steam edition of the game as a dedicated server and spectator feed. (Any headset can host the game, but a PC will make managing the game much easier.)
What's next?
We're in the middle of a major version upgrade and re-work of the game. It may be a few more months before you see any updates, but when we're done, you should see easier setup, improved stability, better optimization, and then we should be able to get rolling on some fun updates.
There is no hard limit to player count, but your local network and hardware can affect the stability of the game.
With our setup of 2 decent Wi-Fi 6 routers forming a mesh network and a mid-range 6-year-old gaming laptop serving as the host device, 8-10 players seems to be the upper-limit for a fairly stable gameplay session.
On older routers, worse coverage, hosting from a less powerful computer, or a headset, you may find that player limit decreased.
You can always play the game completely offline and completely alone.
Due to the computer-controlled enemy count, the Adventure Mode has a limit of 7 players. That may be increased in future updates.

Compatible Headsets
We've tested the game on the three headsets listed below and it runs great on all of them. With each headset, you're also getting an amazing VR console that can also run a large collection of other games.
