Alien: Isolation VR Mod Released

As if Creative Assembly’s 2015 first-person survival horror Alien: Isolation wasn’t terrifying enough, it can now be played in virtual reality. MotherVR is an unofficial Alpha mod for Alien: Isolation, developed by Nibre.

Alien: Isolation VR – MotherVR

MotherVR is in Alpha, and hence is work-in-progress. Accordingly, Nibre is continuing to work on the mod. If you can’t wait for a final release, or just want a sample of Isolation in VR, MotherVR is available here. Installing the mod couldn’t be easier. In fact, all it really requires is copying a .dll file (more details below). However, MotherVR only works on Oculus Rift. Still, Nibre promises Vive support soon.

Release Notes

• Only currently works on Oculus (CV1+DK2). Basic Vive support hopefully here soon.
• Requires Xbox Controller or Keyboard+Mouse (though KB+M doesn’t have any type of ‘recentering’ combo).
• THIS GAME IS DESIGNED FOR SEATED PLAY. By playing this Mod any other way than seated, you do so at your own risk. You may be able to stomach this standing, but I absolutely cannot recommend it at this time. Roomscale does not work whatsoever right now.

Installation

• Drag the dxgi.dll into your Alien Isolation game folder. That’s it. Really, that’s all you do.
• If you’re on Oculus 1.17, you can also use the images from StoreAssets_for_Oculus_1_17 to replace the auto-generated images created in \Oculus\Software\StoreAssets\
• If you’d like to disable the mod (so you can switch back to play it in regular 2D), add –novr in the Launch Options in Steam
